Hi! Donald,  .......and do you expect that stainless material is a stress
suitable material to withstand the vibration and fatigue issues?

Hi Jonathan

If your needing contact details for CKT I should have them in amongst my
paperwork. 

I purchased a complete stainless steel exhaust system for my XS. 

i can't comment on the classic, as i have an XS. I did opt for Nev's
firewall forward kit with engine frame and cowls. 

Kind regards
Donald

of this history, but John Tye builder #1 asked for the silencer to hang a
little lower and so after my stainless silencer was returned from having
stainless tubes fitted to replace the original mild ones, it too hung a
little lower. I wasn't made aware of this and the silencer's heat scorched
my cowl, which necessitated repairs back in 1998 if I recall correctly.

could provide me with their contact details and an idea of the price you
paid for the 4 stainless tubes, if possible.

than the XS and my only concern with it is the necessity to remove the
engine in order to gain access to the starter motor. After converting to
tricycle legs, I sometimes wonder whether the XS bottom engine cowl is any
easier to remove and get past the nose wheel leg. I have to wrap the leg and
two propeller blades in padding to protect it and the cowl.
