Daimler V12 Series 1 - Exhaust System
Discussion
I'm currently in the process of re-commissioning a very original Daimler Double Six. Of all the things I didn't expect to have problems with it was the exhaust system.
No one appears to stock a full system for these cars and the various stainless items I have been offered are quite frankly awful.
None of the usual, major suppliers have been able to help.
After a lot of internet searching, and some very helpful advice, I've managed to get hold of an almost complete, original mild steel system.
The only part I'm now missing is the rh front downpipe. It's a long shot, but can anyone here offer suggestions as to where else I could try for this item ?

Have a look on www.angloparts.com There online parts catalogue show them for a v12 series 1
If you don't have any joy elsewhere.

If you draw a blank, you could get a new section made.
AAS in Newburn are exceptional and made some new intermediate sections for the Mexico using the old sections as a pattern for not a great deal of money in stainless. He has a long waiting list for full sections but can fit in small jobs if persuaded.

Worth a try if you're stuck.

Anglo parts show the part but list the stock as 0. I've sent them an email just in case.
Worst case scenario I can get something made but it will be quite difficult as the original isn't usable as a pattern and access is very tight.
Another option I'm looking at is modifying a Series 2 downpipe.
