Exhaust

 I saw an old post from Facebook today, talking about the exhaust. More specifically it was the initial fit before the body went. 


It's been some time since I worked on the exhaust but I forgot how secure it was. It's basically sitting on the outriggers, so my initial plan of dropping the exhaust downwards is out the window. It basically needs to slide back to where the rear wheel is.

Fortunately, that seems to be very doable;






So I can undo it from underneath and bring out the can from the wheel arch. I'd have to remove the wheel though, which makes it fiddly but not impossible. 

So that's the plan. Measure up the right angle pipe against the bodywork, draw out the exhaust to tack it, refit to check, blah blah blah. Then I need to make an exhaust trim for the body, so more aluminium to polish. But what that will allow me to do is replace the gaskets and tighten up the exhaust, ready for ignition.
