Well, the auction finished at 13.47hrs yesterday and the system arrived at lunchtime today, just before the postal strike started.

Fantastic service, methinks!

Not sure but it was extremely well packaged and arrive dquickly.

I've kept the packaging to send off my Dunstall when (if?) I sell it so I'll let you know what it costs.

I never realised you needed at least 4 hands to fit a new exhaust!

Got it all connected up and hand tight so I can figure out how to make a bracket for the silencer.

Couldn't resist starting the engine to have a listen though! Sounds rather good if you ignore the blow from the head where the gaskets are missing.

Should sound nice on the road.

Those Deeptones are real hooligan exhausts.

It doesn't sound like a howling race can though.

Still no sign of my exhaust gaskets.

Many thanks to the sterling efforts of the great British Royal Mail service!

Thanks guys!

We're nearly there.

The wheel's fitted and the exhaust just needs it's gaskets fitting and everything tightening up.

Looking better by the day!

Let me know how much you would want if you decided to sell the Dunstall because it might come in useful for me.
