Hi,
Just come to fit new one piece exhaust but found that it is either to close to the heat shield or to close to the chassis leg/torsion bar.Can anybody give me any hints as to what I am doing wrong.
Cheers
Allan

Expecting too much from pattern parts ....? You may need to 'adjust' it slightly with a jack and some wood blocks.....

Without knowing the exact problem it's a little hard to tell you - but basically wedge in blocks of wood where it appaears to be too close - and apply jack to put a slight bend in the pipe to make the clearance permanent.

walker mild steel exhausts are the best fit
falcon stainless ones are not so good fit
