What does your exhaust system consist of Mick ?
That is quite a nice note you have there :spoton:

Thanks,
Its a fairly basic exhaust, where the two pipes join it goes into a 3" section and then the muffler. The muffler was built by a guy who builds a lot of the Commodore Cup mufflers - he knows his stuff. Its a long oval thing pretty much straight through, I think its just the outer shell with a piece of perforated steel through the centre. Kind of like a hot dog but with larger holes and no packing. It exits out the LHS which is good at Heathcote.

Rightio, thanks for the info Mick.

Na, seriously, i coulda.

When you make a mig lokka you dont need the spider gears in one piece, we coudla welded the gear sort of back together then just pumped weld into the center throwing in nuts and washers and shit to fill it up, wala, full spool and the diff woulda worked again.

If it has broke the gear the axle goes into then thats a different story, but going by the pick its the one with the shaft so no wakkas mate.

Stick welda woulda done the job to.

Yee of little faith, pfft. You young blokes dont think about stuff enough

Cheers.
