Yes I know I should have bought an Albert....but didn't.....
Having got that over with I am looking for some technical advice.
The HMF exhaust that I have on the 1125 is TOO LOUD for me and I want to quieten it down a tad. The company do a 'Quiet Core' which after much faff with shipping finally arrived today. I was warned that it wouldn't fit without modification and now I have it I see why.
The QC fits in the end of the silencer 'can' under the end cover. In addition there is a 'spout' for the normal can under the end cover. This comprises a Stainless plate with stainless tube exit bent to find the end cover. The tubing is spot welded in 6 places, through the plate protruding about 15mm through the plate. In order to fit the QC I need to be able to cut the pipe flush with the plate (i.e. not protruding through). I figure that this will only be sensible if the whole join is welded/strengthened......but as you can tell I am not a welding expert! The plate is thin and I imagine there may need to be some strengthening applied if the plate is to remain flat after welding.
Hopefully some pictures below:
Any thoughts? Anyone know of anybody in the Preston Lancs area that they would trust to strengthen/weld this sort of thing?
