650ss mufflers

Now early 650s were fitted with in house silencers and Amours have never seen them and all amours stuff is now made by Tim Wassel and these are copies of copies and are all wrongly made and fitted with cheap baffles and after market crap witch you pay though the noise for and most do not fit right a specially the right hand side pipe witch should be 1.5/8ths full bore the wasted pipes were made by plumbstead works London after 1962/3 and these did not fit right ether

now the best sounding 650 exhausts and silencers were fitted to the Norton Manxman 650s from November 1960 to august 1961 630 machine in all witch only 63 have come to light over the pass 15 years so there hard to find now these were the best of the 650s and raced out of the box and winning races with in the USA and UK and EU

So where do I get some nice pipes/exhausts from?
I want better (shittier according to memebers) sounding Mercury and Commando

well you do not they have never been reproduced by the aftermarket so only original ones out there but very hard to find

Such a sleeper car, a Duster. Looks like a car for an old lady in a bonnet driving an old man in a hat from a distance. But, not the 340 or 360.

Heres the orstrawlian version ,



Turret's the same , but ' VH / VJ bodywork , like a Charger ( Valiant Australia . ) Where the ardtop woulda been a better bet , on a longer track , like baffurst . Stability & drag aspect ratio & fings .

145 & 14.5 , pending onoo tweaked it . Drill the Hydraulic Lifter Bleeds , and theyll run 7500 .



Sway bars , bump stops , and strong shocks & torsion bars , beat the Std E 49 bits off the Ute ! .



Fortuitiously , we can save ourselves , and Mr Kaaden , further explanation . Thermodynamics being a relevant perception . Phases & velocities . Pressures , Shock Waves & the like .



Suffice to say , it may not be adviseable to use your finger , as thats not red paint .

story I got from a bloke who said he owned it , for $ 2.500 18 months later , was cold nuts .



The Cunning Trick backfired . The virgin new cold wheel nuts , for ungloved fitting , wouldnae go on . Being Tight on near red hot studs .
after a Lap Lost getting nowhere , they juggled the then not as hot as they were a few minutes previously discarded ' slightly warm ' ones .
But for what the two laps lost mighta gottit foist rathern the thoid itgot, there . BATHURST . Tail still wags the dog with no rear sway bar .

Mere CM 1980 rear bump stops woulda been worf three secons ( or SIX ) a lap. EASY . as then Yr can DRIFT it , rather'n wallow plow & understeeer / Roll Streer . Like wot they do.
No Argueing !

Which Shows how important shocks springs and suchforth are .

You got U.S. 340 & 360 CL Chargers E 55 is the ' canned ' Bathurst job . . Normally Auto . You can see the VH is more hero dynamic . A lot of Hardtops went to NZ as they wernt marketed right . No Stripes .


DUSTER ( above ) { handling refinements , would give you , a " Feather Duster " }
You can see the Cabin Matches , but the other sheet metal is somewhat bricklike .

Late rear bump stops are a few inches longer . Car will come down even , fore & aft , transversely . Otherwise it plows each time the front outer lower arm bottoms . Two or three times per bend .


He would throw past 1/4 turn , on the helm . as it comes on the stop & keeps leaning more , ( & off ) - ( to counter roll Steer ) if he dosnt want to end up in the scenery .


o.k , o.k. , Would THESE clear the saddle downtubes on a 650 SS . They should clear the tarmac well , in any case .
