Colin Lindsay Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Remember the bit in Jaws where they're all comparing scars and the wee guy starts shouting: I got that beat! I got that beat? Not only was I polishing exhaust silencers earlier in the week - save me a room in whatever Nuthouse you end up in, Matthew - but I was also polishing brass thermostats... just in case I take the Herald to a show and someone looks inside the housing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I like shine but im too lazy to go mad on polishing. The exhaust looks good though, i better get on and fit it. Don't waist your money on rimmers fitting kit! Does not replace all the joiners and the bolts are not long enough to go through the clamps supplied!!!

Colin Lindsay Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm currently waiting on exhaust straps, so that I can fit my shiny silencer to the herald main pipe, but even from trial fitting I can see that they're not going to be in line with the brackets on the chassis outrigger. It's a sign of the times that none of my local autoparts suppliers have any straps in stock. They used to be everywhere! I just bought a 12 inch length of fabric-reinforced rubber and will make my own when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to take off the old without distroying it, so if anyone needs bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 My tail pipe looked rusty! 360 wet and dry, followed by 800 then 2000 with cleaning paste. Then drill with buffing and black block followed with buffing pad and white block. All finished with a cloth and fire cleaning paste. Almost a mirror finish from rusty look!
