Getting a new Mk 1 Exhaust

[wardy-uk]

The end of my exhaust as snaped off can I just put any one on it or do I need to find a Mk 1 exhaust

How much has fell off? Just the back box or a lot more?

[wardy-uk]

about a foot before the back box

just weld it up - if you cant then chuck anything on and make it fit

i dont think ive ever bought an exhaust (for a car/van of mine) ever

Last time I enquired (about six months back) the rear section was still available.Usually you can modify other bits and pieces to fit anway.
I was going to start making some Mk1 dowpipes as these are the hardest parts to get hold of,I've got as far as making part of a pipe bender but other things (mainly trying to stop the council pushing my business to extinction) are keeping me fully occupied at the moment.
Burtons and others stock bends and curved sections,you have to flog your house and grandma to be able to afford to make an entire system up that way but might be a way out of a muddle.

Im going to see if I can find a pipe a little bit bigger then my exhaust then weld it on over the brake.

its more than likely gone on the bend ,get the back box ,chop down the front box pipe and bring the back box and fit it near the front box and this will do the same job if you dont have the money for a new system!

A Mk2 back section will probably fit if it helps and it's available. maybe even Mk3 from a scrappy

If a Mk 3 will fit that will be grate ill just get one of them

[madmark]

Looks like I am weling it then Cheers Mark

[madmark]

mate if you use plenty of wd40 you might be able to get the back box out of the rotton pipe ,then you can move the back box before the axle this will still do the job!

[FredTransit]

Even on the petrols?

[madmark]

yes fred the v4 was a smaller bore than the pinto,mind you even a pinto type system isnt cheap now! but anything can be made to fit if you have a welder!

[FredTransit]

I didn't know that about the bore, I knew the diesel one was different bores. I bought the back section for a LWB (and had to cut it down) for our reversion SWB, for £60 new, which was fair. The LWB was the only bit in stock and it was blowing so it had to be done.

Baconsdozen put one on in the ebay section, but it's been pulled for having more than one item listed. Keep an eye out for it being re listed.
