    Cheers Colin, health and safety!

                      Fantastic! Love the engine work, copper pipes look like the real thing. Excellent weathering on the exhaust also. I've seen guys in the USA use Band-Aids for exhaust heat wrapping. Did yours come with the kit?

                        Thanks for the comments :thumb2: much appreciated, yes it did come with the kit, basically a piece of string held in place by soaking in pva diluted with a bit of water and a blob of ca either end the copper pipes are copper wire.

                          Really impressive Mark, you can be justifiably proud of that one, well done mate.
                          Glad you found the old mojo again.
                          Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
