Rebel1 - These can actually be either working or fake. Ha - that reminds me of a girl I once knew
Andrew - bugger, I though they went down then up. What if I stand on the other side of the car? Will that work?
OK, some progress pics
The merge collector with the patented Aussie Mike cone where the four pipes meet. Mike, bugger I owe you another beer
This is the flange that I turned up on the lathe and then welded the mounting flange to the cat. Yep my welding is shocking, but mechanically it's OK, and I have a big pipe to go around it an cover it all up..
This is what I have planned for the exit flange. Perf pipe and a reducer again that will allow the adapter to sit in the flange.
This one is of the collector, the collector flange, the cat collar and the eventual outside pipe. If all goes to plan I should have it all welded up this weekend and then off to get coated.
Any welds that will be seen when fully assembled will not be done by me as I know that I am not very good at making welds look good. However where I can weld it and then attack with a flap disk I am am going to weld. Gotta get my money's worth out of the MIG gas bottle ..
