You know me James - if it is possible to over engineer something then I’m away….

I have been doing that after the last cock up, which is ok but not ideal. also a PITA if by the side of the road

Ha ha - it probably spends too much time in the air, but not that much!

When is an eBay purchase not quite as good as you thought? When you take off the heat shield and find a dirty great crack in it

Still I persevered and marked the flange before cutting it off- mostly with a 1mm cutting disc being careful not to damage the pipe I need to weld to, then a grinder to finish off

Image

Them Image
Putting it in the vice I could use the pencil file to grind out the old welds on the inside

Image
I then welded it up and painted most of it save the area where the flange goes, which is yet to arrive

The old cat is prob a 100 cell, it has the gauze inside but you can see daylight through it so doubt it does anything!

Got my old one welded up but only use it when I ‘need ‘ to … but just bought a new 200cell from Germany for not too bad money… well it will be depending on what I get stung for import duty and vat etc .

Let me know how you get on James - these have been repaired before so am not sure how good they are going to be
