can anyone recommend a company that would be able to fabricate an exhaust for my blackbird powered locost?
also i wouldnt mind them fabricating some dax rush mc style front wings(the ones with the curves in them)
or maybe another company that could do this for me.

im based in tean staffs, nr stoke, so anywhere within 50 miles of there really as i have a trailer.

I used a company called Custom Chrome in Nuneaton about 6/7 years ago. Did a good job for a decent price if I remember correctly. Maybe worth a call.

Note they've moved, they're still in nuneaton, just not the old location.

speed steel in birmingham are very good. they are specialist fabricators by trade not just exhaust monkies they did a few exhausts for me and various friends/family. they love to see a nice kit car ;-) oh forgot to say they are cheep.

on one of my cars they did a 3inch system from the turbo to the back for Ł250!!

Maybe a touch too north for you but Mac1, MK and MNR make exhausts.

One of my customers makes bike and car exhausts and Cats from stainless and standard steel. They are based in Draycott about 1 or 2 miles from you.
I'm due to visit them this week I'll ask for you when I do if they will do a one off, they said they would for me the last time I visited but best if I ask before I give you their details.
I noticed in their stores area they had a few Caterham boxes and the gaffer said they used to fabricate gear for them.
Cheers,
Bob
