thought I would try a pure copper gasket 3mm thick slightly extended to act as a heat sink
on the test one havent extended the sides like I intended too,
but they take more time than I thought they would mainly because I Need to make a better holding tool
also realised they need finishing by hand to suit the exhaust and pipe being used
then realised that I not really sure that it will work
opinions sought
one in picture still to be finished, got too cold in garage
thought it would be a good idea opinions sought

David - give it a go, what you got to lose?
Also did you see the thread about using the cylinder cowl as a heat shrink. I.E. using the stud extending connectors / nuts on all 4 head studs and drilling thru 3 new holes in the cylinder cowl.

if you use the cowling as a heat sink you could weld fins to the cowling underside letting the airflow under the scoot draw heat off?davidblythe wrote:yes I did and am trying out another daft idea along those lines
my mate is using one of these mounted to his exhaust stub. its from a triumph. no idea if it works or not but food for thought.
