5 min job turns into an hour job and pain in the ass.

So decided to fit some new exhaust brackets today on the 182 and snapped 2 bolts , every bolt was a pain in the ass, don't think the garage that fitted my exhaust and brackets used any copper slip.

Anyways any idea where I can buy the black brackets that hold on the exhaust brackets??

I had to get a new one as one of the bolts snapped and was stuck in the bracket. Think the bolts were about £3 each and the black bracket was £18 or so.

Clean up the threads (and spray WD40 on, over a few days) that hold those brackets to the car, don't want those breaking off.

Might need heat as we'll if they're that bad.
Once you've broke the cage nuts , you'll have to drill the floor or weld a new nut on

Good advice thanks.
