January 11, 201114 yr Author i ain't looked drewpy .i hope it's a clean brake on the weld . it's early yet jason,fate won't stop me , watch this space. and good old jim , thanks , i hope you get more snow.
January 11, 201114 yr Author jim john joe,i can't keep up with all these names, i hope the flea's of a thousand camels, infest your arsehole..
January 12, 201114 yr Author oh oh oh your so not funny.. the pipe isn't as bad as i first thought, the manafold collar has a sleeve that fits inside the downpipe, then welded at the collar ,it 's a clean break at the weld so looks like an easy fix..
January 12, 201114 yr Moderator Am i the only one expecting Up.yours to arrive at squires on a passola ped ? You have met Kev? Whatever he turns up on will be loud in your face and probbably reving its bo77ocks off at 2 in the morning.
January 12, 201114 yr Moderator You have met Kev? Whatever he turns up on will be loud in your face and probbably reving its bo77ocks off at 2 in the morning. right next to your friggin tent
January 13, 201114 yr You have met Kev? Whatever he turns up on will be loud in your face and probbably reving its bo77ocks off at 2 in the morning. It will HAVE to rev its nuts off with Kev on to get up the slightest incline. It will be like a two wheeled Hemaroid. ATB J
January 13, 201114 yr Author your back then,,twot.. it's worse than i thought, stripped it down and noticed that it isn't welded, it's a push fit with two spings supporting it (ie, the collets bolted to the manifold ,the down pipe slides over it ) how shit is that , has anyone any idea how to seal this type of set up as it's blowing, even though it looks and feels a tight fit ,it's obviously not..

Call it sixth sense but I feel you are rather upset. Have a look at your parts book, lets hope you haven't coloured in the relevant page, and see if the offending bolt is a stud. If it is - its easy to replace. ATB J
