1950 8N horizontal exhaust bracket mount

[KristofMI]

My 8N came with vertical exhaust. I do a lot of driving in bushes and trees and would like to have horizontal exhaust. I purchased the rear bracket but for life of me I cannot find where to mount it. Right now I have the back muffler hanging on a chain. Can anyone post a photo of where to attach it? I tried google and can't find anything.

Mine is mounted to a bolt on the axle trumpet at 6 oclock.

I had to apply some high-temp Permatex between around the threads because of a nagging hydraulic fluid drip, but once I did that & then re-installed the hanger & nut, all is fine now.
