Nice work!

So jealous of you guys that can fabricate things

Nice job Dave, that downpipe looks awesome, not the easiest of jobs to do with the added issue of the angle gear being in the way.

I was quite impressed with it myself, I even made that support bracket, looks exactly like the original (just a bit longer).

The other side of the flange doesn't look the best unfortunately, hard to weld with MIG neatly in such tight spaces (that and I'm an amateur).

I've only got basic tools; a 30 year old Clarke MIG welder, an angle grinder, a bench drill with step bit, a die grinder with carbide bit and cellotape. That's all I used.

Looks good to me and as long as it functions as it should, then it is a job well done in my book.

Sorry, I mean "sticky backed plastic" no brand names here

Yeah just for mocking it up instead of tack welding it you can see it in the 3rd and 4th pics
