You can easily make that cone, do you need steel?

Was going to grab an off cut of 1.2mm cold rolled from a local engineering workshop and give it a bash.

I don't have rollers or anything, so plan is to attempt to hammer it around a piece of round bar until it's either a cone or I give up and try the sheet metal shop lol

 

 

It's the 18 to 19mm id tube for the stinger that's proving to be a cunt to find!

Knocked up a rough AF cone from 2" exhaust tube

Finally found a use for an imperial socket!

Measured up the length I needed and figured 65mm was the go so chopped it, then chopped the front off the expansion chamber so the outside diameters matched up, kinda didn't account for the 15-20mm I needed to take off that though, fuck.

*Can get them a bit closer, but thats with the pipe where it doesn't foul the engine/brake pedal/foot peg and the mount bracket is in a good spot.

Might have to give it a bit of a tap with a ball hammer to give a touch of clearance to the brake pedal pivot.

 

So yeah, 2 steps closer, 1 step back.

Can you make it so muffler attaches via springs or something so you can remove it when you want to be super rowdy?

Maybe lol, either way I think the carb is going to be louder than the pipe ha!

 

 

CAD prototyping lol

I really want one of these!!

Cleaned up and welded together for a test fit

Bit chunky, I'd spec'd 2mm plate but they got cut from 3.2, but having it in the steel has shown a few small changes I'd like to make to the shape, so will grab some 2mm plate tomorrow and try again.

Am pretty happy with the way it's going though, should be a more than solid mount!

Scrounged up some 2mm plate on Friday and started again, changed the shape of the mount a bit to make it a bit more compact etc

Stage6 at the back, thickboi middle and the 2mm plate at the front.

Still a fair bit of trimming and bending to go.

Got there though!

Repro A50 kicker was closer to fitting than I'd expected

IMG_20200718_182251.jpg.d203a974e077e8dc3f54accb15014e6b.jpg

Only about 20mm or so of bending needed.

 

 

And that brings us to today

Spring added more for having the angle I want while still being able to remove the rear wheel without taking the whole pipe off

Shit ain't pretty, but it clears!

Fitting my foot onto the footpeg is not exactly comfortable, but it's just the way it is lol

So much fucking around with the timing, think I've found where the flywheel wants to be, but shit I'm unsure about running this!

IMG_20200726_125122.jpg.ce0975c674a424ac47086f65bf726185.jpg

 

Have got a couple more donor flywheels, but no lathe to get them sorted.

 

*I didn't drill any of those holes, and it's done 14,000rpm with 3 bolts in the past, but yeah fuck that letting go wouldn't be fun ha

I've got a lathe you're welcome to use it if that helps?
