Been scratching around doing small jobs while i wait for my new conrods, finished off my tailpipes last night.
I belled the ends initially but decided i didn't like it as everybody does that so thought i would do something different so the bells were cut off.








Came up with a trim piece that mirrors the chassis bracket shapes.
I started looking for some stainless tube that would slide over the 2.5" tailpipes but couldn't find anything, anyway Steve (rusty coupe) managed to find a piece of stainless pipe that was slightly under 2.5" so i could bore it out and slightly thick wall at 3/16", the outside would be easy to turn down.








First the piece was cut into 2.5" long pieces and bored out to be a nice slide fit over the 2.5" tube.








Once the inner was bored the outside was turned down to size, here you can see it half done, its then turned round and turned down to suit.








We now have our tube to size, the inside was semi polished to get a nice slide fit onto the polished tailpipes to avoid scratching them.








Next the shape was marked and cut out and ground smooth and then polished.








Once they were polished they slipped on to the tailpipes a treat, They will be welded on the ends once the tailpipes are finished and the weld polished out.
