knightys workhorse wakeup

she's 3mm thick short cast bends, and 40mm nb mild.

welding was done in three stages to avoid it pulling too much, the collector was fabbed in one piece, the two banks (front three and rear three) then a single joining weld on each runner half way down, running a straight edge along it, it's gone 1.5mm total so not so bad

couple more snaps.





the reason for my delay since last week




heading into the machinist now, hopefully will be ready for a big effort on the weekend if not too many beers are involved :)
