Not a bad show. Not to many there.  Wasnt cold but the clouds looked like they were going to open at anytime.  Stayed dry all day though.

 

Im gonna put my pictures on locostbuilders later.

 

Had a good run down there but not so good on the way home.  My car started to misfire as i came along the M20 which kept coming and clearing.  Stopped at chelmsford to let it cool down a bit, filled it up with fuel and went the country route home and it was fine all the way home so not sure what was causing it.

I'm glad I didn't go. I went for a spin yesterday and been working on the car today. I thought I would check out the noise I get when the car starts and idles. Found it to be the weld that holds the bracket to exhaust had broke:(

Thats not very good Martin.  Would have been bad if the exhaust fell off on the M25.  Was it hanging or have you got 2 brackets on yours?

Martin, i have had the same problem with my exhaust bracket. I dont know your personal situation, but if you need it welding, i can get one of my fitters to do it for you :).

Hi. Yes the exhaust was just hanging. The Previous one fitted to the car had a cat in it so I got the bracket beefed up and had no problem. I didn't bother with this one as it doesn't have a cat and should be lighter. Anyway I knocked up a new bracket with three sides and got it welded on today.

 

 

Thanks for the offer Gary if I’d read this yesterday I would have taken you up on the offer.

 

 

 I found a welder at Barnham who did it for me.

 

He is a really pleasant chap. he said if you need anything else doing or any Stainless to give him a call, even said I could use his tools and guillotine  if I needed to.

Yes Andy,I seem to brake a few brackets dont I
