Old Ford Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 oh right , did you just bend the exhaust and air cleaner by hand? Getting all the info so i can do mine , when she arrives . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 i drilled out the exhaust and air cleaner from underneath Mark and then reglued,i think if you tried to do it by hand they would snap,especially the exhaust,good luck Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The daft thing is, you only changed a couple of bits..... and they were UH bits anyway!! It must be so fustrating but it looks like it was easily rectified at least. Done a good job, Paul. Will you be emailing a before and after pic to your MF contact?
