Project Stoopid!

No the black ones are just the HD ties.

Thought they were UV resistant.

I see weight is never a problem with this build.

Often in the course machinery failures it becomes necessary to resort to the farmers fix. This is the 3rd round.

Copper gaskets have to be dead soft or you’ll just bend the flange. Anneal the crap out of the copper.

Anneal? Wouldn’t that be a good thing?

 

[Master Hack]

bend the flange.

Highly unlikely!

Don’t fool yourself!

So sumpthin like this:


an aluminum adaptor to fit 1.75 inch muffler to a 25 mm tube.

Now l'll remake the tube, longer this time to clear the drive belt.
the engineering dept is under investigation for this oversight. The usual response from them "no problem we fix!"

Oh? Not "We no espeaka zee anglais" ?

 

[Master Hack]

"We no espeaka zee anglais

The last one to try that was beheaded.
They don't do that any longer!

That exhaust is bad arse! And I think the carbon fiber is faux “car-bin fighber”. Looks spiffy though, Master Dawg.

 

[Master Hack]

Yeah its a decal they stick on there. It'll burn off ina few hours. The decal makes no difference to me but it is all stainless, non restrictive, relatively light and cheap.

You really want to open that can of worms?

After a week of repairing the lawn tractor and having to rob a bank to pay for it the parts, I went back to work in the project.
Made a stub axle for the rear suspension upright/hub assembly thingy.
Actually made it round!
