It seems good stuff, 1 can has done both wheels, the fork bottoms and top yoke and the can isn't empty yet

Been looking at the standard pipes, there actually for a F1 with the cut outs, since im building a F1 it makes sense to use them pipes on it... I bought a pair of codnor Microns a while ago off here, for the hydrid that has been put on hold, not really looked at them as i put them straight up into the loft. They came with the original small cans but the lad had made some longer (quieter) cans, the only think is, he made them in mild steel as he was gonna paint them. Anyway, i cleaned up the pipes, first with some harpic then vinegar and tin foil, came up ok for 30+ year old pipes P1020937Here are the original cans P1020938 And here are the "home made" ones P1020940 P1020939Rather than paint the cans, ive polished them then gave them a few coats of etch lacquer so i'll see how they hold up, Here both cans polished up P1020941Repacked the cans with new wadding and a Micron decal as the finishing touch P1020942 P1020943 I've upped the jets to 250's as per DaveW suggestion Finally here a quick vid (if it works), its a bit wooly as it was just running on reserve while i'm filming, it stopped a few seconds after i finished filming... 00001
