On my 1961 (with new style front exhaust pipe) I can't seen to find a way of putting my new front exhuast pipe into place. The old one came out ok, but I can't seen to get the new one woven in and out of the crossmembers and up through the engine bay.

I've tried jacking the old beast up to get more clearance, but nothing works.

Is there a special way of doing this, which doesnt include removing the gearbox?

Thanks.

Thanks, had thought about that a few times. I could'nt bring myself to do it, knowing me welding would have more holes in it than the old pipe.

I just jacked the front axle up to about two feet using bits of wood. I got it in in the end.

Got here a bit late, sorry. Jack up and remove the front wheel which will give more space to thread it in.
