Installing original can

Hi,

Does anyone know what i need to get the original can back onto a carbon can co link pipe? Does it just slip back on? I doubt it


I just need it replaced for an mot. The test centre are being a pain in the ****.

Change your tester.

I bought an SV with a carbon can co can already installed. Before I knew my current tester I took it to a local stealer who failed the can. I therefore bought an OEM can.

Phoned Carbon Can and they said they would drop a sleeve pipe to reconnect the original in the post. I told them not to bother I would pop up and collected and they said it would be waiting for me.

They were true to their word. It was sat there waiting for me when I got there half an hour later

Excellent service I wasn't even their customer, I has simply acquired one of their cans and they still went out their way to help me.

Cool, i did just call them though, and they said they only supply some weld on sleeve

Dont suppose you want to sell your sleeve do ya?

When I scrapped the SV I am afraid it went as well.


the sleeve they supply is simply a bit of tube with an internal diameter slightly bigger that the external diameter of the OEM pipe. Coat the inside with bathroom silicon sealant (Yes, seriously it is what they recommend and it works) and clamp either end with a standard bike exhaust clamp. No need to weld.

I thought it would be that simple, maybe i should call them back...

Thanks for you help.

They are certain that the sleeve they supply doesn't work, unless its welded on

Does anyone know where i can find something suitable?

Found one on Ebay for £4.50.

Sorted.
