Finally a new silencer and tailpipe for the 'Ulster'. Both inexpensive and home-made. I didn't get the curve of the tailpipe over the rear wing quite as I wanted, mainly due to pressing on when I should have stopped to slurp tea! That was the tricky part, as it sweeps in to hug the line of the tail. But it's serviceable and not bad for a first attempt I reckon - will do for now. Oh yes, and she's wearing her new tonneau cover, also home-made.
Going to add another photo as it took me a while to figure this out:
Nice work Jon! Just a thought, but if you buy commercial kits to do this they contain a 'part 2' which neutralises the acid (or alkali) and stops further unintended head-munching. At least give it a jolly good flush with water.
