If you are considering a S/Steel exhaust system...

By cradle do you mean number 5 on this image 025-199-221A?



And these mounts?

Kev - sorry, am confused here. The way Ive read this is that you are saying Cruz (and me!) need to get part No 5 on the above diagram, in order to fit the later DG exhaust instead of an earlier one? Ive got an early DG (or I thought I did!) and below is a pic of my 'part No 5 - cradle' which I figured was on ALL DG engines? Are you saying Ive already got what I need to hang a LATER DG exhaust system onto?

...a better pic of that bracket Kev - right hand side of the box, after I had it blasted and painted.

Could you get those images any smaller so we can see more clearly?

haha! Its the same problem Im having with my Photobucket. No idea how to mend it (never used to come up that size) and have posted on here but nought seems to work. I have not a clue, its as much as I can do to POST the pic!)...
but hey - wouldnt it be great if I actually had the later cradle already!?

[Cruz]

See my wanted ad for a better picture of what the cradle looks like

Hang on..,
I'm sorry that's the wrong carrier (5) it should have lugs on it to take the box cradles

[Cruz]

Carrier 5 lists a few different part numbers. the etos image is just a rehash of the pre-85 mount....I think

[kevtherev]

OK.. your picture in wanted is the right one

Sourced one for £20

oh b********, have bitten bullet and ordered the Speedshop system - well, Cruz - it will be interesting to compare how we get on with the different systems. hmmmm......

I have decided to defer from fitting an exhaust for a couple of months until I can get the exhaust mount fitted plus a few other things done that will take up some of the cash I had put aside for the exhaust. Don't want to stretch my finances. It's not like it's desperate and falling off or anything. If it get's worst I can just book it in and raid our pegs piggy bank

Anyway the route I have taken isn't the ideal route for many early van owners. So I will be more interested to hear how you go on and any future owners of the planned Brickwerks early stainless system.

Probably not much cop if you live in London, but these guys in Cardiff made a custom set-up for me: -

I'm in south London myself and could well be interested in the future so will be watching this space.

well, Speedshop system arrived within 2 days, fitted easily, sounds quieter than the stock m/s JK system I had, and 'throatier' - a lovely look and sound! Well chuffed! Will post pics etc on separate thread soonest....
