Refurbished Exhaust Hangers

After committing myself to replacing the exhaust on the Land Rover, I figured I could keep the costs down by cleaning up the exhaust hangers.  With a can of penetrating oil, a reciprocating saw and some old fashioned elbow grease I managed to get them all off.

Here is the mid hanger, as it came out of the Rover.  I got it all apart and ran the bits through the sandblasting cabinet.  After that effort, I painted them with black high heat exhaust paint.  They turned out pretty good, I will have to replace the nuts and bolts since I had to saw through a few of the rusted ones.  But overall I am really pleased with how it all turned out, and managed to save myself a few bucks.  Good thing I am working for free on this project, otherwise these hangers would have cost me more than replacement.
