All Alloy Cup progress

[AllAlloyCup]

Thanks Peter and Ruairidh ,
For the information about exhausts and fitting.

I’m tempted to stick to a 35mm pipe dia from
Manifold to tailpipe, as I have loads of it,
Plus the downpipe came off a working Trials special.

As Peter points out it’s the hoop that’s the issue.
It’s position is fixed by the rear engine mounting bolts.

If I can lift the existing downpipe over the hoop
A very shallow Z shaped joiner pipe would mate neatly
With my Cherry Bomb silencer which has 35mm entry points.

On Tom A’s car the tail pipe was about 6” long with a fish tail ending.

Do most Chummies of that era simply have a very short tail pipe pointing
Towards the near side?

I believe later A7’s had tailpipes up and over the rear axle
All the way to the rear of the body?

Any ideas about rear tailpipe arrangements appreciated.

Regards
