On my first local club run to the Batlow show on 4/4/09 I blew the flange gasket. The home made wire ring usd to last for years on 214 bedfords but only lasted 130 miles on the blitz. So today I flatened the flange on a peugeot dirsel tail pipe and welded it to the blitz pipe with a foot of rusty number 10 fencing wire, cut a holden gasket in two and glued back to back with mufler puty and reasembled. Results a quiet blitz again so far.
