September 21, 200916 yr Hi, Does anyone know what sort of job it is to kick out the RH seat unit tube to take an inside frame exhaust? Many Thanks
September 22, 200916 yr Can be done, but might be easier to buy one ready made from Sammy Miller Products. Basic procedure is: Chop hafway between the bends, heat, bend, weld/braze an extra bit in the middle and assemble. If you try it yourself, be careful heating the end with the bit that attaches to the end of the swinging arm - it is made of brass and will melt! Good luck! Roger
September 23, 200916 yr Hi Guy's . Hi Roger. "Liked that one, made of brass." No the end was a made of cast steel, investment casting we would call it today, this part was then hearth braised into the tube using braising particles and the good old gas that used to come from the huge gas ohmmeters as I think they were called, our natural gas from the North sea now replaces that. Regards Charlie.
September 24, 200916 yr give up charlie... next you will be trying to tell us that the big ends weren't made from cheese...........
September 24, 200916 yr I know mine was made of brass, 'cos i melted it! Had to make another from steel... Roger
September 24, 200916 yr Author Thanks. Maybe more time than money at the moment so will have a go. Just finished the swinging arm mods. Will take care with the heat just in case!!
September 24, 200916 yr Hi Guy's Hi Alan and Roger. Now Roger are you sure that your Tigercub sub frame is not part of the missing gold from the Great Train robbery, Cos if it melted it ent from the Triumph factory, unless they were in on the job? Regards Charlie.

September 25, 200916 yr Hi Charlie It was a while ago, but my plan was to remove the lug by melting the braze (assuming the lug was steel/cast iron, etc). Lug went all mushy when red hot. Wasn't gold, though! Roger
