The upper right muffler bracket part# 108200 has an 85% failure rate. This component is available from most DeLorean vendors as an upgraded steel replacement. When considering the labor time and cost for welding the original it would be more cost effective to simply purchase the upgrade unit at under $40. The upgrade is stronger and looks better than the original. DMC Joe DeLorean Help dmchelp@xxxx www.dmc.tv
