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

Jordan, I hope they fit because I have four sets here for my carriers. You can get alot of movement depending how tight your gearbox stud bars are adjusted, also the floor elbow bolts I would slacken off to, remeber your gasket. They should pull up a 2 to 3mm gap.
I shall sit here praying to myself they fit your Mk1 as mine are all 24 stud Mk1's. kev.

Kevin,
You are right that the engine in Puddle Jumper is a 21 stud, but the down pipes fitted on PJ are for the original 24 stud. So there should be difference between engines .

Here are the pictures. I didn't get a chance to measure it but the distance they are out is about the same as the thickness of the flange. Im going to try some bolts that are a bit longer to see if it will pull it in. If not I am thinking that a spacer cut the same as the flang would work?
I compared them to what I had left from an original. It was rusted away from the elbow down. It lined up perfectly. The only thing I can see is that the original is a bit tighter on the curve and the flange is at 90deg to the pipe where they meet. Has anyone else tried fitting theirs yet. Kevin, don't take this as a hit to your work. What I got is very well made. They are a hard piece to copy due to the double bend in them.
