RE PHANTOM EXHAUST With reference to the flexible exhaust jacket feed pipe to Scheme 894. This has been fitted to Chassis 8.EX. It is a difficult piece to fit and means that each pipe should be made to suit its own engine unit. It would assist in the fitting if a varying range of alum: washers were supplied, so that when the pipe is screwed in the bend, it provides a means of adjusting the position for lining up to the seating on exhaust pipe.
