More work on the exhaust yesterday. I hung the mufflers temporarily with inlet slid on over the head pipes. Then fitted up the outlet pipes. Tack welded the outlets, then removed the muffler/tailpipe pieces and welded all of this up with the flux core. Then ----------- YEAH, you guessed it! More grinding! haahaaa. Got to love it, ehhhhh?
Then put it all back together. I need to go downtown today and get some clamps. I am going to clamp the mufflers to the head pipe, then if I need to disassemble everything, I can seperate it here. With all of the twists and turns I would never be able to remove the whole system in one piece. I also need to get some hangers to tie everything up to the frame. I spent some time this past weekend on the Honey-Doo list and on straightening up my work area. Sorted out saved parts and stuff. Cut down and burned up a stack of old cardboard. Don't know why I save that stuff-------
Thanks Don for joining in. Great to hear from you. I'm missing your build posts! Perley
