I had two aluminium spacers made up to fit between the exhuast muffler flange and heat-exchanger flange. Air was used to cool the bit for the purposes of filming, then the cooling fluid was used. These spacers will allow me…

I made a stand out of some ply to hold up the new exhaust. Before getting it into position I bolted on the flanges. I was now able to see how it fitted under the bumper and up against the…
With the engine now in I’ve been installing hoses and cables. Some cables have had to be repaired here and there and I had to re-make the wires going to the injector resistors. I made four new supports that bolt…
With the new heat exchanger lids everything is naturally a lot more rigid when all attached. That’s the good news, the bad news is of course the badly fitting exhaust. The photos will show just how bad it is. My…
My welding skills have improved vastly on this one, but the outer skin doesn’t weld very well. What ever the composition is, it’s difficult to weld neatly…
I’ve included a few photos of the new exhaust also. I expect some alignment problems when it will come to fitting it but it shouldn’t be too difficult I hope.
I decided to tackle the welding job on the heat exchanger myself. The welding isn’t the prettiest but it will do the job. I used a MIG welder and I expect to do a much better job on the next…
