TVR & Fiesta Diesel ?

[dawl928]

Will the rear exhaust silencer from a fieata diesel fit a TVR T350 I'm building?

Yes but you'll need to connect it with vacuum cleaner hose to the manifold.

Yes but make sure it is a Miele hose, I have heard of all sorts of nightmares with people trying to use poverty spec vacuum hose, Electrolux particularly bad.

Indeed, it was remiss of me not to specify!

The problem with the hose, regardless of which vacuum cleaner it came from, is finding a suitable brand of glue to stick it to the modified eggboxes you'll need to fashion your exhaust manifolds out of. Plastic -> cardboard can be a tricky thing to get a decent, lasting bond between...

make sure you get the Diesel van version, it includes a max double vortex supercharger effect enegizer as standard, that's why vans are the fastest thing on (or off) the road

Are you serious?
If I find my silencer from the Fred gone tomorrow I know who to blame!

I assume he's referring to a scale model of a T350, in which case yes the Fiesta back box will fit if you use suitable quantities of modelling glue. However you should really take more care of the pieces and not cut them out of the plastic frame until your ready to assemble them.

If you're building a modified model, I have a 1980s Jaguar V12 engine (made up of 100s of small plastic bits) available. Unfortunately the rest of the car disintegrated leaving just the engine, much like the real car in fact.
