    That's my mate Chris who used to own TecMoto - he's now at
    Snetterton, in the hangars just outside the paddock. Give him
    a call (number on the site) as he'll do it no worries.
    Tell him I sent you and he'll do you a good price as well.
    He did an underseat exhaust on the old 600SS for us!

    Over here, welding is taught in community colleges. They often look
    for "real" jobs to give to students. An instructor oversees the work
    to ensure it's good enough to pass muster with a customer.

    Oh, TFFT. I thought it was people clubbing together to take out a
    contract....

    Oi! Cheeky ****.

    You're not wrong thobut. Sheet metal is a mystery to me.

    Can't you mill one from billet?

  13. Does it have to look original?

    The 2-pressing approach is likely the cheap way to mass-manufacture, but it
    ought to be possible to replicate the principle with a different
    construction more suited to sheet metal working.

    I wonder how critical the shape is...

  14. No, but it would be nice.
    It's effectively an expansion chamber so my guess is "very".

    You can get over the 'not that pretty though' bit by using the right
    flux and silver-soldering on a stainless steel strip.

    Silver soldering is a good idea, any attempt to weld a thin corroded
    item is fraught with possible hilarity.

  17. Well, whoever suggested Zorstec seems to have been on the money. Andrew
    Ainsworth says he can make a stainless steel copy for £350, or two for
    £500. Game on. Thanks.

    They made the underseat zorst on my Bastard12, which is a very neat job.
