Exhaust Pipes and manifolds.

Lovely Sunbeam has been dispatched to the exhaust shop for new stainless manifolds and pipes.

It will take about a month.

Once at the shop she failed to start!
The door handle snapped!
And the hand brake sized!

Very embarrassing.

Starter would spin but no spark. Voltmeter showed less than 8V on starting. Eventually decided the Voltage was going so low the Duraspark wouldn't ignite. I hadn't trickle charged the battery since fitting the alternator. :-(

Hopefully it will work when charged.

On the ramp it was found that the steering contacts the Oil filter - so will have to remove or adjust the oil cooler.

The plan is to cut a 3" pipe through the chassis on the right hand side and shrink the battery box by 4".
Maybe I'll be able to find a low profile modern battery shaped like a pancake to fit.
