Exhaust

The main section of the exhaust has been fitted for sometime now but until the body was on I couldn't fit the rear boxes as these are mounted using the 'cotton reel' style mounting brackets which are bolted through the floor of the boot.

In order to mark the position I put a piece of masking tape roughly in place then pushed the back box up and the head of the bolt marked the masking tape giving the correct point to drill through.

For some reason I havn't taken a photograph of the boxes in place... will update this later

Exhaust System

17 November 2012

Made a start on fitting the exhaust system today

First it was on with the manifold

Stainless Manifold

Then started working backwards - this was a relatively straightforward task but needed some twisting and turning to get the alignment just right.

Used the standard U clamps supplied by GD but don't really like these so will replace later with some Mikalor stainless clamps like Rob has done on his build.

Cant fit the rear section until the body is on so thats about it on the exhaust for now.
