How to spend two and a half days fitting two mufflers...

 for those of us without a lathe and an out door workshop, dont waste time (hours) filing your spacer to fit (cut from the old exhaust)..
 cut the spacer in half...
 looking goooood, now thats one done, 
one to go but a bit quicker next time....
 find somewhere to locate the bracket and cut and drill to size...
 then discover the mufflers are not a push fit 
and need spacers and a clamp which will need to be ordered...
 used a bit of silicone plastic tube as a cut guide and a saw to finish the cut...
 but now the front pipe has no tab or bracket to fix it...
my spacer solution came from a piston ring compressor tool... 
and my bracket for the front pipe made from a bit of daggy old angle iron, note the allen bolt drilled and tapped to stop the bracket moving on the original frame tab, fucking neat heh...

so that then had to be painted and as you may have noticed the camera has decided to fuck its self...

so dear reader part deux to come...
