Phantom In order to try and overcome the trouble we have had with exhaust pipes corroding away, (I am referring of course to the mild steel pipe between the manifold proper and the silencer,)it is desirable to prepare two sets of pipes and send same to Messrs. Fescol to be fescolised both inside and outside. If it is possible to get a set of pipes of this description treated in this manner on 12-EX. we should certainly do so. BY BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
