richard, i sure we can work something out for all those wheels you brought down from up north. I have a jig made now so can turn the other round a bit quicker..................i hope I have you old down pipe here to return when we next meet.

When you come to fit these pipes please be midful that the position of your engine can vary depending on the tightness of your rear mounting threaded rods, I would recommend any one fitting them to remove your floor castings and refurbish with a 38mm flap wheel on the bench and test fit to get your seal.

steven yours were posted to day, should be with you friday/mon.

kev.

I just got my engine put back in. I went to install the exhaust down pipes but I seem to have a 1/2" gap between the pipe flang and the exhaust manifold.

Any suggestions??

Hi Jordan, We aligned those downpipes and tack welded them in situ on shauns Canadian Ronson Carrier on a 21 Stud flathead, before fully welding them. We have since made a jig and cross checked them with 'puddle jumpers' MK2 carriers downpipes (also 21 stud). Can you email me some pictures of the misalignment, I can only think a 24 stud is different but i thought we bottomed that out in this thread!. full refund given.

Hi Kevin

I just realized I hadn't fully bolted the engine mounts down yet. I can take some pics but won't be able to post them for a few hrs as I'm not home. I'm using my iPhone.

My engine is a 24 stud one. The down pipes look great and match what I have left of an original. Let me play around a bit

Was more just wondering in anyone had some suggestions to try out
