Hi Ron,

I made a flexy exhaust up for one of these sets, when working for REME. No idea how one came to be still around in service, c.1980, but we indented for a pipe and silencer, but only got the silencer. I found the outer sleeving from a Ferret or Saracen speedo cable was the same type and size, just remove the plastic covering. Ask around if anyone has changed a speedo cable on a 1950's era British armoured vehicle.

Incidentally, I think your 80w was made by Douglas (Kingswood) Ltd, makers of fine motorcycles ! My 80w set is a Stuart Turner.

regards, Richard
