Moderator Cynic Posted January 11, 2011 Moderator Posted January 11, 2011 This is the second time you have messed with fate Kev, What was it 'Feck Fate i'll be there' wasn't it. First time the sproket now the pipe.

up.yours Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 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.
barkwindjammer Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Yep I hope John gets more snow and I dont
up.yours Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 jim john joe,i can't keep up with all these names, i hope the flea's of a thousand camels, infest your arsehole..
Vez Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Am i the only one expecting Up.yours to arrive at squires on a passola ped ?
up.yours Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 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..
Moderator Cynic Posted January 12, 2011 Moderator Posted January 12, 2011 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.
Moderator drewpy Posted January 12, 2011 Moderator Posted January 12, 2011 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
Joshua2 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 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
up.yours Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 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..

Vez Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I used a thin layer of gun gum on the last exhaust i had like that.

I'd weld the bitch up to be honest,,,,,if it were me,,,,,,and be done with it !

Joshua2 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 fuck fuck fuck ,fuckin fuck,, stripped a bolt on the joint , will i need to helicoil it . or can i just re-tap it. im going to try sum gun gum on the joint when im ready.... 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
