Exhaust Cutout
I need to cover the sharp edges where the exhaust exits through the side panel.
What have people used on here?
Cheers,
Iain

I have used a rubber edging from Woolies. Have a look here, http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-322-extrusion.aspx
Its the round extrusion with the split.

I'm just going to make a plate to surround it and rivet it in place.
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

i.ve heard of people taking a length of brake pipe, using a dremil to cut a slit and pressing that around the hole to make a nice radiused edge.

That;s a good idea. I would think that polished and laquered could look pretty good

Take a sheet of thin s/steel, and make your own - I didn't even need to rivet it on, the bent-over tabs hold it fast.
pushed into place......but tabs still at 90 degrees...
I don't have a close - up pic of the finished surround, but it is completely flush.
