Going to be doing my exhaust clamp again today. Spent another 6 hours on it last night, pissed off at the mini again!!!

Will be ok though, just couldnt tighten up one of the nut/bolts because the weld snapped, so the weld wouldnt spin against the clamp so it was loose after all the work. Ended up taking it off again, all the exhaust paste had disapeared anyawy.

Can i ask, which do people tighten first, the one nearest the bulkhead of the one nearest the engine?

Also i ran out of fuel pipe so i need another meter.

3/8 air rachet ... 30 seconds per nut , tap it with hammer to break paste seal , clamp off ... where`s the problems?????

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....
