Default Clearance between exhaust pipe and anti-roll bar

This might sound like a very odd question, but does anybody know what the clearance is between the exhaust pipe and the rear anti-roll bar?
I'm working on mine now, and I've noticed that the anti-roll bar is slightly damaged at the spot where it sits very close to the exhaust pipe. I can only just put my finger between the two.

I feel the exhaust pipe might be to close to the anti roll bar.

I made my own hanger from a bit of 12mm all thread and the u piece from an exhaust clamp and threaded it in the centre of the rear subframe as i was concerned that it was too low.

I'm afraid I'm not totally sure what you mean with that....?

That sounds just like what I need to stop my exhaust knocking on the cross member just in front of the middle box. By the way, what IS "all thread".

Hang on ... just found the answer to that! How long were the pieces you used? And have I understood correctly that the holes in the crossmember are the right size to allow it to simply screw in?
