I'm in the midst of an engine swap in my 87 240. I pulled the engine and transmission. There is a bracket at the transmission that looks like it should support the exhaust, but there is no connection there. I am assuming the part of the bracket that supports the pipes has gone missing. Does anyone know what it looks like? A pic would be nice. Thanks.

The bracket, when used, pulls up on a plate welded to the exhaust pipe thus carrying the weight of the pipe. Trouble is the weld area often gives, resulting in a hole in the exhaust pipe. After replacing a few exhaust pipes, people tend to leave the bracket unattached.

These are frequently missing. I need to get one on my wagon. The picture is of the one on my 242. It is similar if not exactly the same.
Basically, as you have probably imagined, it's just an angle bracket with two slots on one leg and one slot in the other. Installation is self explanatory. Not sure what size the fasteners are but that's easy enough to figure out.
Some may deem this piece unnecessary and you can obviously get by without it. I like to have it on there.
Sources? Junkyard, BB classifieds, maybe Volvo dealer parts department. It could be pretty easily fabricated from a piece of angle iron.
This shot is the best of four attempts.
