Fuel Exhaust Fitting?
Well I've got my new Fuel Exhaust, can someone tell me how long it should take to cut through the exhaust with a hacksaw !!! I'm at work tomorrow and wanted to do it before I go to work so want some idea how early I might have to get up

Re: Fuel Exhaust Fitting
well how enthusiastic are you , 10 minutes max I'd say, but stop for a brew & a fag and it could take you an hour, personally I use a 10" grinder and it takes about 20 seconds.

Re: Fuel Exhaust Fitting
be aware it's double walled, there's an inside vented tube as well.

Re: Fuel Exhaust Fitting
Well thats not happening got the heat shield off, taped up the footrest then just couldn't get a decent angle to make a start on the floor.
Plan B - get someone else to do it or get some proper tools Last edited by shurm; 04-05-14 at 08:39 AM. |

Re: Fuel Exhaust Fitting
At least your shield came off ok. My bolts had seized and ended up snapping! Why can't you get a good angle on it?

Re: Fuel Exhaust Fitting
Just at work now ran out of time a bit after getting the shield off, my bolt heads came off as well !!!
I'm in Accrington Lancs, I think once I get into it it will be ok but I was trying to do it on the garage on the floor. Might hire a saw midweek. |
