Exhaust and Oil Cooler

The new large bore (2″) exhaust arrived a couple of days ago from Steve Parker. This is the correct bore for the 12J. I got a new set of mounts with it too. It was already painted with high-temp ali paint, but I gave it another layer for longevity. It’s all hanging in place, all connected together, but I’m having trouble aligning the back end so that the muffler doesn’t knock against the chassis rail (the way they hang tends to rotate them so they do this) and the mounting starps seem very stretched. Once I have got the rear and intermediate sections set fast so that the muffler hangs clear I’ll touch up any little scratches and take a few pics.

I also fitted the refurbished oil cooler. It looks a little lonely on the no.2 cross member at the moment, but the rad panel has been blasted and red-leaded, and is nearly fully painted (black). Once that and the rad are ready, they’ll join the oil cooler.
