Exhausts that fit without bodywork modifications?

Hi, Is it possible to list a few exhaust that fit with no bodywork mods at all? (no trimmed footboard, no rubbing on panels)

Can people only list them if they know for certain, Thanks Dave

Re: Del'Orto or imposter?

If you take off the air filter on top of the carb you can see the size stamp on the carb, you should see 24/24g if its off a T5.
the carb is also a bit shorter than a P2 carb as it is made to go with the improved air filter which is deeper but has to fit inside the standard air box.

Basic tune to a cast iron 175

I'm putting together a basic small block engine to use as a run around. I have a 175 barrel (not sure if it is a 175 or a bored out 150) going to get a 175 2 ring piston off ebay and use a 30mm manifold i have in the shed. Questions are; Can I use the port timings in Dave Websters book for the 150 t...

Re: 30mm manifold

Stating the obvious thats a difference of 6mm which means a lip of 3mm all round. this may not be ideal to have steps on the inlet tract of a tune/race engine but on a sil 200 I dont think it makes much difference. Much worse to have a 30mm carb on a 25mm manifold :lol: If you are worried about it t...

Re: BGM regulator/rectifier looks the same scootrs rectifier

I know what you are saying shocky, £20 isnt much to pay for a decent regulator/rectifier.
Its that i have an electronic kit and also use the scootrs unit to charge a battery for decent horn and back light, but the scootrs unit has extra terminals so if I can use it as a regulators so much the better.
