Hi Tony W and Tony B,

Just catching up on reading the MLU posts.

I have attached photos of what I believe is a section the the original exhaust pipes at the engine. This was attached to my vehicle but had been cut off short and a new section added to the rear to the muffler by the previous owner. Interestingly the new section was 2" pipe swaged to fit over the remnant of the exhaust pipe and it too kicked downwards as it does in Hannos's photo and the photo I posted a while back of an original one at Bandiana Army Museum.

It seems to concur with Tony Wheeler's photo and Hanno's photo of the entire pipe.

The crossover clamp is the same as used on Jeep exhausts so is readily obtainable.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,

Jacques
