There will be a short delay before I can fully test the exhaust.
We went down to Leicester over the weekend to visit my brother and as we got ready to leave I remembered that I wanted to borrow his rev. counter. Being super organised he knew exactly where it was so went to get it, his super organisation being as good as mine when he looked where he “knew” it was it wasn’t there! Sound familiar? He found it soon after we’d left and as he‘s coming “up north” in a couple of weeks for the TMFC Bring a Model Night we can do the tests then.
I’ve made a clamp to stop the extension being blown off the silencer; it’s similar in concept to the Laser carburettor and exhaust clamps.
It’s made from tin plate and I’ve used soft (lead) solder. I don’t think it will get hot enough to melt the solder but even if it does it won’t matter because once it’s clamped in position it holds itself together.
I’ll use a cable tie around the silicone tube.
