If its for a Bambi make it clear its for a pick up because the van one is very different.

is the exhaust rusty or has the bracket just come adrift and caused the exhaust to part at the joint noticed at calne you had wired it up to rear fixing so might just need a new hanger and new exhaust back box take pictures just slid hand underneath with camera point in nea r enough right direction see what pic u come up with that way you can see what the damage is with out crawling underneath

The bambi exhaust is the pickup version, but has to have a tail pipe extension fitted, so as to reach the back of the body, this part is no longer available, but it is just a straight piece of pipe.

I have a pit but I wish I had the ceiling hieght for a vehicle lift. It`s knackering climbing in & out of the pit.

Hi All, Rascal pick-up exhaust for a Bambi and then get some straight tube of the right diameter to go over the tailpipe to extend it. Usually only costs a few pounds. As for ramps and pits, I have a 4 post lift made in 1952 ish, called a Laycock Coronation. I bought it for £200 from a garage that was closing down, where it had been for almost 30 years. Just moved it into new unit and set it up ready for a few more years service, pity we can't make things of this quality now !!. I wouldn't be without it Regards Tim www.bedfordrascal.com |

Any exhaust place should stock the straight tube really Ruth, not sure about these 'Kwik-Fit' places, but, isn't there a custom or specialist exhaust maker near you? As Tim says, a straight piece of tube will only cost a few pounds... if you were really stuck you could even get some flexi tube from a motor factors, but that wouldn't look right.
Google exhausts in your area???

When I've needed something like that I've just gone to a garage or exhaust fitter and asked if there are any bits they are chucking out. Most garages will have a scrap pile and you should be able to find an old exhaust with a decent comparible straight bit. (Even though an exhaust may have been replaced, much of it will still be fine to reuse - straight bits corrode less than curvy bits). Offers of a few quid in the back pocket always help. As for Kwikfit - I wouldn't go near them. |
