Default carrier exhaust boxs

Hi,
I am making some carrier exhaust boxs at the moment, I have both kinds of the original ones here (squared off and rounded top ones). I have the exhaust bafflers made up and am working on the pipe bends at the moment, I think I can knock them out for £200 a set of two which includes the long pipes back to the exhaust cast floor plates, so basically a complete exhaust system in mild steel. The long pipes would be welded to the bottom bend as per originals. Ideally these exhausts are best fitted with the rear axle removed but can be fitted with the axle in place if you remove the rear tool plate and have plenty of patience and ground clearance to twist them into position, (those who have done it know what I am talking about), last thing you want is to put a connecting clamp between the bottom bend and the straight pipe part. I will post some picks once I have the bends made and welded.

kevin.
