They're original style - on the roadsters they're used in both tension and
shear but not compression.
Not sure it would be possible to use the straps without the exhaust hanging
down further which is not acceptable.
The idea of modifying the original designs by turning them upside down or
otherwise supporting them to put them in compression is intriguing - I may work
on that angle. I can see how that would put a lot less strain on the glued
joints.
