ABSTRACT:
A universal tailpipe holding bracket is provided and includes a support means for attachment to a vehicle frame or body, a clamp assembly for holding the tailpipe, and a universal connector for connecting the clamp assembly to the support strap. The clamp assembly includes substantially semi-circular first and second clamp sections, each of which have opposite first and second ends. The first end of the first clamp section has an outwardly projecting detent while the first end of the second clamp section has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart openings therein. The second end of each clamp section terminates in an outwardly projecting flange. A bolt or screw connects the flanges of the clamp sections. The detent is adapted to be selectively received within one of the openings on the first end of the second clamp section, depending on the diameter of the tailpipe. When the connecting bolt or screw is loosened, the detent can be released from the opening in the first end of the second clamp section to define an enlarged mouth area through which the tailpipe can be passed. When the tailpipe is in position between the two clamp sections, the bolt or screw can be tightened so as to draw the first and second clamp sections into tight engagement with the tailpipe.
