XJ6 Bell Stainless Exhaust Fitting
Hi All, I'm currently fitting the 'early' exhaust system to my Series 1 XJ6 and the fit and finish seem to be very good. That said I come across an issue with the rear muffler. The rear muffler support rod that slides into the rear hanger seems to be short, or in the wrong position. I have fixed the issue by moving the hanger back 80mm! Has anyone come across this issue before?
I'll get a couple of pictures up later. Woz |
when I rebuilt the exhaust system in my XJ, I found British Leyland resonators and the two mufflers I found equivalents locally. The original over the cage pipes I sent to Jet-Hot Coatings for their ceramic coating and also replaced the Y pipe with a Euro pipe which was also coated.
But I installed a Bell system in my '65 S type and had no issues with it, everyting fit perfectly. |
Here’s a couple of pictures to illustrate the issue. I’ve resolved it by moving the rear hangers 80mm forward and the system is otherwise a great fit. http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...psaqclj6uo.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7pysdo6e.jpg |
I installed the Bell system in my 1972 XJ6 Series 1 and found the same issue. Seems like the welding spot is off by about an inch or so.
