Well I was able to get the exhaust pipes made from the engine to the cast outlets in the floor and installed this week with the help of Lynn's pictures and measurements of an original one . I used a J pipe that is mandrel bent and did both sides with it, Also had the lower part that goes into the cast outlet machined up and it slides right into the pipe and then welded up..

Also I got a couple of the flex hoses made up from an example and installed from the oil cooler bypass valve to the lines on the frame, Its nice that they had the fittings for it as it was British thread. As for the lengths the parts book says 27" overall length for the long one and 23" for the shorter one. In installing them I would recommend going to 24" overall length for the shorter one as the crimp on ends are a little longer than the originals and give a little less to the flex points so a little longer on the shorter one will have a better curve out of the fittings, Just my 2 cents.



Next in line will be the conduit and wiring, Will be nice to get that over with

Nice work, flying along. The ads on hoses should be standard BSP, common size even even over there. Waiting for my two carriers from NZ now!
