How are you guys mounting your passenger side mufflers/exhaust on your early A's? Photos would be great!!
 
I attached a bracket/hanger to the rear seatbelt bolt/reinforcement plate. Sorry, no pic; but it's basically an arm with a hole in one end that goes on the seat belt bolt (I may have needed to put in a longer bolt, not sure) and the other end has the exhaust hanger on it. I don't think it's any more than 6" long.

I'm glad you said that. When I was under my 66 Dart brainstorming exhaust mounting ideas, I figured the seat belt mounting holes would be really convenient. I may just do that using something like this for a hanger.

Yea that is what I used and worked well. I did use tti brackets mounted to the car. This is a complete tti exhaust system with headers. The back half of the exhaust was modified to clear my rear leafs as I have the springs moved in.

Those are nice hangers. I used them on my tool truck for years and that exhaust was heavy!
 
I just hadn't finished working on it at that time. They are all in now. I also added a extra bolt in the hanger so there is 2 per side not just the one shown in the picture.
I needed to center where the exhaust exits out the back of the car.
