yes, Mr Berry I did. The pipes were dead inline/same height with the horizontals of the stach bar. I had to drop the bar down about 45mm to allow the
pipes to attach to the muffler. And now I will either fab up some longer mounts or ad packers/ spacer (40mm SHS) to take up the gap.

If you add spacers,do you think it will give you a lot of excess movement???

^^^^ cheers bloke... still need to pick your brain though.
I went to bolt up the webers with those manifolds and F$%k me if the are too short!!! I'm about 40mm to low. If I try to mount the hex bar it fuggin
hits the gennie!!....
Guess I'm milling up some spacers for the manifolds, glad I got a milling machine at work ;-) or if you got any easier/better ideas?
