That's a lot of money for a square tube with a hole drilled in it :lol

It sure is, the other ones are in the hundreds though I haven't checked the internal sizes of any box section yet but mild steel may not be up to the job :nenau

Managed to put together a quick video of the wing mirror upgrade...

I'm pleased I took some pictures, because some of the video footage turned out awful! :doh

One next week MOT is done and dusted, I can start thinking about the exhaust.

As much as I love the idea of a side exit, they're just a bit impractical when it comes to maximum ground clearance!

So, I want it to terminate in front of the back wheels... Here is my inspiration.

Yeh that's what I did with my Y61 Jay.

Whole pipe was straight through stainless with a 45° bend at the end level with the back wheels, angled so the exhaust fumes went down and slightly towards the side.

Rear leaf springs ?????? Rick

That's what I did with mine too......to begin with.

I think its fine, but if you get a d*ck head garage they can fail it in an mot.

Lucky I have a decent one... But just in case, I will be able to run it for a year! :lol
