Hy Jon,

Interesting post. You may be thinking along the same lines as me.
A few weeks ago, my youngest son needed a repair to the exhaust system on
his Ford Teansit van.
Rather than pay the exorbitant rates at the local Henry agent, (who didn't
have said part in stock anyway), we found a firm who make up exhaust systems
for trucks and agricultural tractors.
After a 15 minute wait, the guy comes out brandishing a new part, (just
made up in the workshop) and charges us the astonishing sum of ?30 (?21)
which I thought was more than satisfactory. The same part at Henrys' place
was about three times as much.
I was hoping to hear from anyone on the list who has had a 3" system made
up, and pick their brains about how it was done, (particularly with ref. to
any system which exits in front of the rear wheel arch) before making some
enquiries at the local firm.
I know this is tempting fate and the Cruiser-Gods, but as yet, my system is
in quite good nick, but it would be good to have a game plan for when the
inevitable happens, and the whole lot goes south for the winter.
What about Roman or one of you other intrepid over-landers, are you all
running o.e.m. systems, or are there some state-of-the-art-plumbing-miracles
out there?
