At Stafford I saw a 550 pipe for sale that had been repaired in exactly that place.
Currently without a GT, but looking

Dave i have replaced both rubber bushes in the footpeg/hanger and the triangular rubber spacer between the pipes. I guess its just 60,000 miles and 47 years of wear and it finally gave out!
