Damo 85 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 the chap at my local exhaust place just faffed around whilst all the connections were loose. so the whole system was mounted but nothing tightened. once it looked right he nipped up the first clamp to hold it there. just a bit of trial and error really matey. nice vr mate Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 what did you uise on the plastics to go black???? Link to post Share on other sites
Damo 85 0 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Well I thought about getting some high temp engine paint, but had some ultra cheapo satin black paint from halfrauds lying about, and a weekend free lol so nothing special. Just lightly wet sanded the plastics to give it a bit of surface to bond to, and a good 4-5 thin coats of paint. thats it. been fine so far.. although only time will tell if i will need to re-do them with high temp paint......
