Hi Brett,
Thanks for the pics - much appreciated !
The home-made cross-over manifold is Steve Taylor's - nice piece of work indeed !
At least Kim's complicated exhaust is still all shiny silver - half of mine got burnt out courtesy of a couple of missing cyls & the CATs - back to the coating shop !
What is all this about heat (it was only around 32-35degC), sun (it rose in the morning - think of the alternative) & spiders (none that I could see without my glasses - I thought those little bites were just mozzies) !
I think that part of the idea of the drive day was to inspire Brett to get on with it - how easy can it be to build a 40 when its cool, the sun is simply a backlight for clouds, & you don't get bitten on the bum by nasty arachnids !! Its a good thing he didn't come a month or so later - by then, the snakes were wide awake !!
Kind Regards,
Peter D.
