RE: [doc] steering joints and cats!!

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxx>]

Alan,

None of the RHD cars had cats fitted anyway. They had a bit if bent rusty
pipe. Some members have bought a similar cat bypass pipe from the Dutch
club.

As a matter of interest, the IOM car's cat had collapsed and bunged up the
silencer. John Chaplehow bought a new silencer ( stock) and a Dutch
pipe.....he's now sorted.

I do have a new cat spare if anyone wants to buy it.

There should be no emission problems with a car that age. UK cars didn't
have cats fitted until a few years later.

Frenchy is coming along nicely, I'm leaving the engine side of things till
later.

Hi All,

Chrispy: I wouldn`t have got the new shaft from DMCH as MXI`s shaft was
fine, only the joints needed recon... if the shaft was bad I would have got
a new one from DMCH though.

Oh I just wondered if you had anything done to to your car that had the cat
removed, Ive just found half of MXI`s cat in the silenser, I was thinking
about removing the guts of the cat* and just wondered if the car will run OK
and pass the MOT emissions test

*removing the guts of the catalyst that is, for you cat lovers out there!!!

Chris: the name of the firm is Scholar engineering

My uncle knows the engineering firm very well, he got me the good price.
they can build engines and recon UJ`s as well as lot of other jobs...

Alan and MXI 4811 (exhaust-less at the moment)
