Cool Super cool

Looks as if you have made some good progress there

The exhaust manifold looks to be well thought out & ballanced

I have some way to go before I get to that stage

Looking good Tilly, but photos don't do it justice! Having seen it in the flesh, there is some very neat work there.
Look forward to us going a spin when I get back (well in at least 1)
All - BECs are the future lol!!

yes the exhaust looks very tidy indeed, did you fabricate it yourself?

well done.
