Wes,

Sorry that I haven't responded to your query sooner. I have a couple that I need to do and just not enough time. I'll be glad when they bring in the 27 hour day. I could really use the extra time.

My exhaust system was made by a local pipe wizard here in Perth. I delivered the car to him with some instructions on what I wanted and he went from there. I wanted it to hug the motor a bit and to be as low as possible. I didn't have to modify the engine cover, but the cross brace was lowered to suit. He's done a great job.

The wizard spends most of his time out in the bush prospecting for gold and comes to Perth to bend a few pipes to pay for his next trip. We had to catch him between expeditions.

I feel that it would not be practical to make a set long distance with any probability of success. He really needs the chassis / engine to work on. I can try to find out where he is and ask if he's interested, but I have major doubts about the whole exercise.

It seems to me that you would be better to find a pipe bender closer to home and get him to work directly on your car. I'm happy to send some photos to work to.

Please let me know.


Bobski,

I understand that the rules do vary between states to some degree. I've been told (and I hope they're right) that my motor will be acceptable. I'll find out soon enough. Watch this space.

Regards,

Lance
