Excellent strategy.

Doesn’t work every time but does work often enough to make it worth a go.


Absolutely. I'm very good at being 'economical' with the truth when it comes to purchases.

In the event of my untimely end, my mates are under strict instructions not to let her sell my stuff for the price I told her it cost..... smile

No wind or rain today, so a couple of hours on the front drive and she's done.

The librands manifold started to cause a little headache, as it appears the middle two studs should come out and be replaced by a couple of allen bolts - I imagine theres not enough clearance for the nuts. I couldn't get the studs to shift for love nor money, so was about to crack out the oxy when I discovered my replacement nuts/stud kit I'd bought for eventualities had nuts that required a 12mm spanner rather than a 13mm. There were just small enough to fit without intereference. smile

Rest of the kit went together easily, and only had to chop about 3 inches off the long pipe. May change the rear bend for something with a smaller angle, but will leave it for a bit. Sounds very nice - not antisocial boy racer, but a deeper burble than previous and nice bark on acceleration. Very pleased with the result.

Blimey, where are you? Flippin' breezy, cold, and showery here in Gloucestershire this morning. Nice job with the exhaust system though.

Mine lost another original part today, I had to replace the windscreen wiper motor. Precious little left now of the car that left Malvern 34 years ago.

The rear of the exhaust seems to be a "semiside". Is this from Librands, I know you cut off some. Does this stop exhaust fumes coming back, into the cockpit.
