Capri - Muffler Rubber Hanging Mount

I haven't done much on the Capris over the last few weeks but the All British Day is coming up on Sunday so I thought I better get the cars in order. When I was refitting the exhaust on my green Capri a few weeks ago, I broke one for the rubber hangers that keep the muffler in place. I had bought a replacement but today it was time to fit it.
They are not that easy to put on - well, I never find them easy as they are very tight & require a bit of muscle to slip them back on. I took the back wheel off so I could get a good go at it but still it wasn't easy.
Here is where it fits & the broken one.

After a lot of huffing & puffing with the help of a big clamp, a can of WD40 & a screwdriver, I was able to pull the exhaust system over enough to finally get the new rubber hanger over both ends. Here is what it looks like & hopefully, that should keep every thing in place for a while.
