Muffler Fix

This blog covers the work to fix the muffler as outlined in a previous blog.

Overview
The muffler has to be rectified as the installation needs the compact design and the weight saving that is more than welcome. 

Rework
The first problem was to remove the side plates with the inspection opening showing that this was possible. After a number of different approaches with the best using a 4'' grinder with cutting disk to remove approximately 50% of the flange and finishing with a grinding wheel. A few blows with a soft hammer and the flange broke free.

The penetration from the bead weld is better than a mm and the standard of workmanship from the welder / fabrication is without fault - design is another issue.

Modifications shown in red
After modification it will become only a resonator box

Once the modifications were done the components were bundled up and set out for re-welding.
