611 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 It was pretty easy to put it all together once i had figured out how it was going to fit. Got all the parts from https://www.profusionexhausts.com/ Got some other pics on my blog if your interested. https://www.theopelproject.com/ If i could have welded i would have done it all myself but i know that's one thing i defiantly cant do as well as a proper welder, i know my limitations 🙂 Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NevilleThrashingRamsbottom Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 So. It's been a while since I posted. Life gets in the way. But. One last door pin to get out. Heat, WD40 and pin tool. No joy. Made a slide hammer at work out of Milling machine draw bar material. It broke and still no movement. I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!!!

cam.in.head Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 some pins can be realy stubborn / rusted in. you could make a log bar with a short stub on the end to act as a punch to start the pin moving ( sideways 90deg not straight) maybee tap it up and down a few times to free it THEN move on to your normal removal tool/ method. i use the type that fits through the pin and you then screw a collar back on ( as a nut) .then i have a long bar with a slot in the end to hammer it out. similar idea to the sykes pickavent tool but not using the silly short bar that comes with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
