Well.. What can I say. Got a brand new centre section from my local scrappy, which only cost me £10! But what an arse to fit. Getting the old one out was narf tight. The new one needed some "encouragement".. That's me being polite. It was an absolute arse of a job. Done now, very happy with the replacement.. Worth it. Anyone else had the pleasure of attempting this?

Just threw it all away and frankensteined a straight through system...

Most tyre and exhaust sheds do free fitting, so it's one of the few jobs I never bother with.

decat a few months ago. local exhaust center fitted with a quote of 20 pound. he had a hell of a job bolts seized up. so he got 20 pound and a box of beers. (young mans game)

That sounds like my trauma! I love my angle grinder.. With out it the old exhaust would still be hanging out of the guys of the motor! It was hard, but after completing, I fairly enjoyed myself, unleashed some aggression haha!

On an exhaust related note, does anyone do a stainless exhaust for the Classic? I can my rear section is looking pretty lacy and won't have long left.

£300 ish on ebay

Thats for full system

Lemmy go for the s/s straight through,I got mine made for £120 all tucked up above the chassis with removable tail pipe

Robert3040, where in Scotland did you go for that? Or was it made to order?

@robert3040 who was that by? And can they fabricate a side exit as that's what I'm looking at getting.

Hi lads ,Simon's custom exhausts,East Kilbride.He has a web site with the same name .Side exit removable tailpipe for off roading






Skoti has also had one fitted on his newer model a few months back.

Thanks @robert3040 I've just emailed him to enquire

If he needs a truck to copy I could go back through for you

Thanks again, I'll let you know when I've heard back from him.

just for info, most s/s exhaust are made from 304 stainless steel which will suffer from surface rust however will last a very long time.
the stainless steal we all have in mind is 316 or A4 marine grade which is very resilient against corrosion . i have quite a lot of 316/a4 bolts+ nuts spare from a job i have completed.
so if you have use .just pay post if you would like. unfortunately the course and degree of the thread means they will not interface with automotive needs. sorry but they are none high tensile so no good for tow bars.
