Suns out, guns out. Only by sun, I mean this exhaust clamp. And by out, I mean on.

 

 

 

The middle section and back box are patern and they dont meet like they should. Ive clamped it ub as best I could but its still blowing obviously. Seems secure though, so Im calling it a small win.

I've never managed to get one of those exhaust joints to seal without plastering loads of that halfords own brand fibre reinforced exhaust putty all over both sides before clamping it up. Infact looking at it, you're missing something - there should be a fibre washer in the middle that gets crushed when you tighten the clamp and stops some of the leak.

Shakedoon run today. 120 miles round trip up through Northumberland and back down to the Tyne.

Car performed grand. Exhaust still fully afixed and I nipped the wheel nuts up north of the Tyne and refitted the wheel trims.

Impressions after an hours drive each way is that its not the most comfortable mile muncher, but thats hardly breaking news. It keeps up with the moderns well enough and I even overtook some people on the straights. I can say without doubt that its flat out top speed is 77mph on the flat with a slight headwind. Stirring the pot round the windys was fun. Gear linkages are a touch sloppy but TADTS.

 

Oh and the voltmeter got sick of telling lies and gave up completely outside of Haydon Bridge.

 

Thankfully I no longer require its constant reassurance.
