Cracked exhaust manifold

Last time on Mantorp one of the exhaust primaries cracked completely. I left the car to a Ferrari race team who tried to weld it together in situ, but it was too tight so the result was not very good. No blame on them, they did the best possible under the circumstances.

Unfortunately the only way to get the exhaust system out is by lifting out the engine. So I did, and then dropped the system off to Tyresö Svets, and today the engine is back in. So much easier to take the engine out the second time!

To avoid this happening again, I now have fitted an additional exhaust mounting point in front of the silencer.

There is a threaded bush in the frame 802 mm in front of the rear mounting point. Drill with a small drill through the side skin and you'll find it.

The engine is out

Engine out due to a cracked exhaust primary. Easier the second time - I followed my step-by-step list from last time, and took it out only with help from my 5-year old son.
