smithy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hmmm, I think TWO straps are the deal on most systems. Here's mine;Rear boxes, face on, with two straps one each side....... The two straps go at the back of the rear valance and are bolted through into the boot: Then farther toward the front, before the "Y", there are two more clamps to the plate that supports the differential: ....at least that's mine! Salutations, hope that helps, if not tell me what else you need. (Memsahib is watching some Opera on telly..... :-/ ..).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 :) Naaaaa, I did them last weekend, but they've been booted about this week and went to Prescott today too. Was just thinking how dusty the pipes look again and so on. oh well. :-/ ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 SmithyI would put the nuts on those clamps above the pipes for extra ground clearance, got a similar setup on the Vit and it decks out all too often (is low tho) I went down a big dip and took it right off last year leaving the Goodwood revival!Having said that if you have had it like that since the late 80s I guess you have enough.

smithy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Yeah, they've been there a while and I've never managed to grind them. I guess I'm not trying hard enough eh? You're right though I should turn them around. ;)Wim - no problem. anything else just shout. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Seems sensible - it will need support up front. Mine's a lot different of course so I can't help with a photo. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sorry but are you sure they are high enough?? I don't think they will offer enough ground clearance as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I caught mine last Sunday on a "B" road! Yours are too low! I just don't want you to destroy them on your first outing. 8) 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltddirk Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Wim,I would also say that they are too low, the higher you can get them the better, specially with our "kinderkopkes" (Child heads = cobblestones)the main pipe you can almost make it fit in between the chassis rails but for sure the silencers could be put higher.I have been searching if I have a good picture of the set up on mine but not succesfull. So far best I came up so far is this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Ok, i will look tonight or tomorrrow ..it was to warm yesterday :pBut the mddle pipe is lower at the front i think (gearbox)But i'm waiting on some exhaust fittings Kind regards wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hi! Good job Wim. I don't think they are any lower than mine, and mine are still on the car..... Try them out!They're nice and shiny too. I like. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 WimYour rear wheels look jacked under, that won't be helping check ground clearance.You should be able to either bolt the flange sticking out the top of teh exhaust box straight through the rear valance with rubber washers either side, or use a very slim bobbin mount though it will be in shear. That is how I have mine.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
