In Topic: Exhaust manifold

Paul
Dan is your man for a replacement one, and buying bits from him helps his Racing Eclat to continue gracing the tracks.
However it is very easy to get the stud out and retap the thread with manifold insitue, I had to do it on one of mine on the Elite, and have done same or similar on many cars in past.

Mike

Paul plenty of penetrating fluid then as Steve says undo stud and retap the thread before fitting new bolts, if you have to drill out re tap one size up, but you may have to drill out exhaust flange holes slightly larger to acomodate larger bolts.

In Topic: Elite exhaust system

Hi Paul
    Not tried either, but have removed stainless system from 76 Elite was breaking for spares for my 78 one, and there was too much wrong to make it viable to do up the 76 one.
If you are at all intrested I have both back boxes, matched pair of pipes that go over drive shafts, and centre box all in stainless, the original pipe was cut just in front of centre box where box was clamped on.
So if you do not want to spend that sort of money on new system, will do this for £90.00 plus post and packaging, will go towards doing some more to mine.

Mike

Hi Jason
    Drop me an e mail to mike.hedley@tiscali.co.uk, with your name and address, How does £8.00 to include post and packaging sound.
Do you want me to look and see if I have the mounting bracket, its the slightly wege shaped one fixed to bulkhead, or is yours all there.
Regards
Mike.
