Rekkers. In your first photograph, your petrol pipe appears to be running perilously close to the exhaust system or is it just an optical illusion?
With regards to exhaust systems in general, I was under the impression that the original RP exhaust tailpipe ran between the tank and the nearside rear wing. The tailpipe was modified to run under the tank on the introduction of the Ruby in late '34, as there was bodywork in the way. Cherished suppliers seem only to supply the Ruby type exhaust, which fits the RP quite well provided attention in made to the placing of the rear support bracket. Certainly, my (new) exhaust system neither rattles nor fouls things. I did find it necessary, however, to put a couple of thick rubber washers in the mounting supporting the end of the silencer to the chassis to stop it growling.
