Think I could get enough usable parts from this system if right diameter
Seen complete systems on interweb for around£80
But can't get any info as to tube dimensions

Just had email back from suppliers of the Morris minor exhaust system and their pipe is 35 mm bore
I've room in the manifold mounting flange to machine a suitable hole for this to fit into
There is enough pipe work to be able to make up,a functioningsystem ,with a little bit of modifying
Will the slightly larger pipe work cause any problems?
Looking at the manifold flange more closely it appears that the 32 mm pipe now in situ has been flared out before being welded in place
So perhaps 35 mm was the original size fitted ?
