Bongo Fury

Just as I posted the other day about only a couple of things going wrong - back box drops off.

On checking the mid section there is a hole in that too. The back box sheared where all the others have I guess - right at the juntion into the silencer - looks like it has been blowing there for a bit.

Money's bit of an issue at the moment and I've been given the number of a local geezer handy who's a good welder apparently and used to doing exhuasts - has anyone else welded up their exhaust -like we used to do in the old days? Or do people just buy new sections? I think I've read all the threads on this BTW and would love a new stainless unit but can't afford it at the moment.

Also where would I get some stainless flexi pipe 2 inch to make up a lenght to the end in case this drags out? Ta in advance - Lewy

Pity your not close by, as I have a complete system lying in the shed, from when I replace with stainless. It did cost but being up here in the Highlands, a replacement can't be got locally or quickly, Which is no good when the vehicle is in use every day.

Worth checking out the thread below, re flexy pipe http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... hp?t=15081

Thanks for the offer Brorabongo - yep saw the thread about the stainless flexi thats what gave me the idea. Will google it and see what I get

I think Vanvliet said he had some spare flexi that someone could have for postage costs if needed?

Cheers Mike seeing the mechanic tomorrow hopefully - will drop v a line too - hows Alty?

I can let you have a bit of pipe if you cannot source locally .It is actually heater exhaust vent pipe for diesel lorry heaters .email me

Altys fine. We played La Rioja for the 1st time in 3 yrs and went down great, so looks like I've been dragged back into gigging again. How you settling into Totnes?

Totnes is brilliant - love it down here and hopefully saw a bloke who reckons he'll have a go at the exhaust too - so looking good hopefully!

All sounding good Lewy - better stop before the thread police apprehend me for wandering all over the road.

Thanks so much for the offer - hopefully going to weld that bugger up - but if it doesn't work out I'll PM you - thanks
