Here goes, i've not got a picture of the finished system as it
was too dark.
the exhaust that was with the landy was brand new, never been
used so subsequently certain bits had rotted ie the silencer, so
I've used the front pipe which had already been altered to fit
the bmc 2.2, also the intermediate pipe which i've had to alter
to fit a bigger bore dia silencer and tail pipe.
the original

The shiny ali area was 1/4" to 3/8" thick with filler due to a
"slight" dint, so I knocked out most of it and glued a 1/8"
thick piece of ali behind the area and clamped it down till the
next weekend.
now to today Ive got the top backing plate and the top plate
fitted with the same method more picces tomorrow.
Many Regards Chris

Cheers Prof, she`s getting there.
Ok got a little more done today, the fuel filter is mounted on
the bulkhead now fairly high up ish. Its mounted with captive
bolts welded to a 1/8" plate the inside of the channel and
another plate on the outside, both have been glued with MS
polymer adhesive.

The old fuel filler plated over, it is actually dead flush and
with a skim of filler it'll be fine.
