Hi Does, any one have any broken ones.

As I need some of the flanged ends that go onto the main box.

don't care on condition.

Thanks
Leigh

Hi Leigh, I've ot one which is a bit knackered, but mainly around the flange - this is where they tend to go first!

Why not get soneone like PD Gough to mke up a couple of straight sections with flanged ends on one end in s/s?

If you cut a slot along the other end you can simply clamp it onto your existing pipe. It shouldn't cost too much.

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

Ok I'll give him a shout.

you got any contact details.

Take car to an Exhaust specialist to get custom headers and Exhaust made to fit as standard Exhaust won't fit.
Fit Emerald ECU etc
Get the Engine running
Fit DL1 and dash, and get working
Get ECU fully set-up on rolling road

and if I have time get a new front end and get it sprayed.

[adam quantrill]

I always thought the flywheel ring gear would make a great trigger wheel. Only problem is getting a once-per-rev 'missing tooth', you don't want to take a tooth out.

Perhaps you could also sense the lump on the front pulley? 'Nor' them together and you're in business!

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

Yes I'm going the Front pulley method now.

There's just not enough room with the manual flywheel. and the later manual ones are like rocking horse doo doo.

[rev-erend]

So - looks like you will be done by the end of this weekend

If you did not get any manifold flanges - I found some for you .. see your progress report.

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

Yes saw the post.
Thank you.
was funny was looking though the blue book and saw a add for jet-x was going to look at them to day.

The plan was to not butcher the original box, hence wanting the original flange ends.

but after the W/E does not look the that's possible.

Would it be OK to fit the compensator just before the center box. or should they go nearer the manifolds.

I think space and ground clearance and accessability will determine the location.. few inches either way won't really matter.

well the centre box is about 18" away from the manifolds.

Ground clearance is not an issue as all exhaust is about chassis lvl.

I think I'll but them in the access hole under the wing. (whole front comes off to give good access.)
