DUMMY EXHAUSTS
« on: 19 Apr 22, 07:04 pm »
I have seen some photos of CKs with dummy exhausts and they appear to have been made from 40mm plastic waste pipe parts!  Is this correct and does anyone on here have any experience of doing this?

Yes, easy! And so does the Giant Tribble.

Do you use the solvent jointed kind?  Also do you do anything to make them look less plastic?

Guilty as charged  ;D

Yup used 40mm solvent weld waste pipe.
I used black, so if the paint gets scratched or dinged
it won't show as bad as white. Rough the surface
and sprayed a suitable metal colour.
Also point out I used swept fitting as they looked
more realistic.

Thanks Bill,  I was looking at the parts Screwfix do and the 92.5 degree bend looks more swept back than the 90 degree bend.  Did you use paint for plastic, or just the usual rattle can paint?
