Slimline Model 50 for inspection?

I have been working with Gordon at Feked Classic Bike Parts to get a correct exhaust pipe, and I have been having trouble describing to him the past problems I have had with the Armours pipes.

Is there anyone with a Slimline Model 50 that is willing to take their bike by the Feked shop for examination and measurements. The bike to be inspected should have the correct muffler hanger strap mounted on the offside passenger peg mount.

The pipe that I have received from him, although not entirely correct, is a well made unit. The tube thickness measures at .060" whereas the Armours pipes measure at .050" The chrome looks great and at the head end of the pipe there is a welded in flange insert with a thick mating face for the gasket to butt up against.

They are located in Blanford Forum, Dorset DT11 1DB

His phone number is: 0845 5190620

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Hello Mike Most Exhaust pipes made by Armour's Exhausts Were wrong from the start the bottom curve on pipe was to small a radius They sound be *8 inch radius , This is the same Story with all the Norton twins Too alot of After Market Exhaust Pipes the curves in the Exhaust pipes are Not in the right place and there Bent with a Small Bend at the bottom bend in the pipe , were if you take a good look at some of the brochures you see the is a Good *8 inch bend at the bottom radius , a He want to try making exhaust pips ans Silencer for the Manxman 650 twin , thats a real challenge, yours Anna J

Oh good another chance to mention the Manxman!

Where are the factory drawings for the original pipe? If you can get hold of those it would give you the right answer.
