Re: exhaust mountings, solid or rubber mounted, thoughts ?
100% agree with a.lo.v2. What you seem to have is 3 flexible points and one fixed, ''the pipe has 3 rubber mountings and is clamped to the stub'' If you let it 'float' at the stub your problems may disappear.

Re: oiltech casing alterations
Well if its of any help, I've used JB Weld on my Sprinter Crankcase, where, trying to weld anymore in the crank area would just cause more porosity, and its been fine. Its a crankcase that's had a fair bit of welding btw.............

Re: 12V AC Rev Counter Options?
Scitsu - good damping, reads from HT cable, its 12v rechargeable via a pin into the body of the rev counter.
I suppose it depends on how much you want to pay also!
