May 14, 200917 yr Hello. I was hoping after reading some of the other topics that some might be able to help. I have a late Mk2 250 Mar which i have been restoring over the last couple of years. I have now got the bike to a running stage but have a Tiny hole in the front Exhaust manifold and i have had no luck finding a replacement.Can anyone help! Cheers. Ian.
May 14, 200917 yr Several options: Put a wanted ad in the ads section on this site Keep an eye on ebay - they come up from time to time, more common on ebay USA and not too expensive to get something that size sent over Try the various breakers, Ellastone, Wakefield Offroad etc Get it repaired by brazing and get it rechromed if you want an as new finish, as long as it is good enough to rechrome. If the metal is thin where the hole is then the polishing may polish through it. Millers do a new replacement but it isn't a single tube bent to shape, it's several pieces welded together and isn't as good an appearance as an original. When you say a late MK2, the MK2 was only made during 74/75, the '76 green/white model with the angled shocks was a MK3 although it still had the shorter chrome front pipe. Later MK3 bikes had the long black front pipe. The Miller pipe is the short one (black though, not chrome) I'm assuming it is the chrome pipe you have. However, you can use the short or the long, there is no difference in fitting. Doubt you'll notice any change to performance with either.
May 14, 200917 yr Author Thanks Woody. The bike is a late 1975 bike, unfortunately i had to re frame the bike due to the frame being beyond repair. I have struggled with bits through out the build but can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was told that it had compeated on the Scotish with a lady rider but have no way of finding out more history, other than the reg number of the bike. Thanks again for the info, I will check out the Millars option. Do you know where they are based. Cheers
May 14, 200917 yr Lots of OSSA resources in the states. Have a look at this link...... http://www.ossaworld.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=cLinks.view They are all very helpful, I have personally had parts from Ron 'ossaman' Bors who was brilliant.
