I'm replacing the center and rear mufflers.
The clamps were rusted between the cat and center mufflers and had to be cut off. Which parts are these in the diagram above? I'm referring to 32,35,38,39, 49 in the diagram.
Plus 77,80,83 and 86.

Are they called a gasket and C clamp?
thanks

32,83 - "screw"
35 - "nut"
86 - "washer"
38 - "seal ring"
39 - "flange"
77 - "suspension ring"
80 - "clamping piece"

49 does not appear to be in the EPC or your diagram.

I guess you don't subscribe to the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" ????

thanks
i think i meant 40, not 49..

(1) center - rear muffler:
the clamp is No20 and comes with the rear muffler, if not: (http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/mercedesshop/sophio/wizard.jsp?partner=mercedesshop&clientid=catalog.mercedesshop&baseurl=http://catalog.peachparts.com/&cookieid=1HJ1DL3DD1L318JZGR&year=1987&make=MB&model=300-E-002&category=H&part=Muffler+Clamp).
77, 80, 83 is the rubber hanger including hardware. I'd replace the rubber doughnut (http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/mercedesshop/sophio/quote.jsp?clientid=catalog.mercedesshop&cookieid=1HJ1DL3DD1L318JZGR&baseurl=http://catalog.peachparts.com/&partner=mercedesshop&year=1987&product=H8050-26058&application=000045975), the hardware can possibly be reused.
(2) cat - center muffler
You need 38 and 40. Those are two seal rings
(http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/mercedesshop/sophio/wizard.jsp?partner=mercedesshop&clientid=catalog.mercedesshop&baseurl=http://catalog.peachparts.com/&cookieid=1HJ1DL3DD1L318JZGR&year=1987&make=MB&model=300-E-002&category=H&part=Exhaust+Seal+Ring). One clamp (bipartite 32, 35 is already attached to center and catalyst respectively) - I do not know how to get them on later. The other one, 39, probably must be bought from the dealership.
Good luck, Bruno
