Had to remove the back box on mine to strip the paint from the rear valance only to discover both rubber bobbins are broken. Another job for the long list. 👍
I've replaced mine with these poly bobbins now: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186487695103?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5339068501&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1. The should be stronger and not much difference in price
Quite a fancy exhaust hanger, the small chassis Triumph ones are just rubber strips! Had one of my nearly new bonnet cones break in a similar way to that isolator cotton reel of yours, I would’ve thought the metal part would need to extend further in to the rubber for more stability but apparently not.

Yes, it is the one item on the MG which is more engineered than the Triumphs I know
Unfortunately the quality of most of our rubber replacement parts has degraded.
I’ve bought some poly replacements for not much more than the rubber parts
I have the same car and have had a similar problem. It’s got to be the most complex bracket for a very simple purpose.
Yeah, it does seem a little over engineered
