muffler
Thanks for the info Jacques. I thought I had seen a diagram with a muffler that bulged out in a dome at each end. No immediate recollection where I thought I saw this, and most likely thinking of another vehicle. I am a little relieved this isn't for CMP. Wasn't looking forward to recreating the domes.
I spent the A.M in workshop (actually outside in the sun) stripping and priming the windscreen frame. Some may recall that when I did the passenger side window, I had trouble getting the hinge to allow window frame back to the closed position. No such problem this time. I beat the snot out of top part of the hinge, effectively allowing easier 'closed' movement.  Hope it still opens more that 1/4" now.  Andy, if you are reading this, I have made one very good handbrake lever & ratchet/ratshit from one we got Sunday & stuff I had in stores. I'll take photos of todays work when I can. This evening is my Sons graduation, so work ceased early.

My low mileage Cab12 is still fitted with its factory fitted muffler and fan belts. The muffler ends are domed a bit but I am sure that straight ends will suffice. I cannot get a photo for you for a few days as that one is stored at a mates place at present and I won't be gong there for a week or two. The fan belts have "Ford" visible on the outer flat. I picked up 8 or 9 mufflers with flat ends at a disposals joint about 8 years ago. Two for the carrier, two for the Ford Lynx one each for the Cab11 and Cab12 and a couple of spares. These are replacement muffler for Ford vehicles. The graduation night looks like it was a great success. Regards Rick.

Hi Rick,
Cheers for that. Dont stress about pics too much. Theres no hurry, thats for sure. It's good to know that my memory has not failed me entirely. I had a pipe dream about using two old plow discs welded to the ends of muffler to duplicate the mild doming effect, when I had the additional thought.........Stuff That, it's bound to look like a total bollocks up! My Sons graduation night was certainly a lavish affair. I took that photo while waiting for the meal to be served. We were table 24 of about 30. Meal serving started at table one! I did the posting from my mobile phone, knowing it could be difficult to post, because I never used phone with internet before. Being at table 24, I figured I had the time to figure it out before the food arrived. The reality was that after working out the posting, l still had enough time to write a couple of books, The Underachievers Guide to Extremely Small business, and, I Made a Hundred Dollars in Real Estate. I was part way through a third one, Body Language for Epileptics, when the food arrived
