So, after much chipping away of firegum (2 weeks worth on and off) the downpipes were liberated.  Much time was spent making sure nothing had disappeared into the cylinders, there was a clean surface for the new gaskets to sit against etc etc, you know what I’m talking about.

Everything is back together along with a gorgeous new can as well….and it sounds great.  If you need a new can have a look at Delkevic.
