I've got a Welbike kit on it's way, but it's literally on a slow boat from China. I ordered it in July :roll:

That exhaust system looks fabulous 8)

Hi Adrian

Let me know when you get the Welbike as there are a couple of problems to avoid and parts not shown on the diagram.

Gary.

Hi all

I have added the brackets and 90 degree fittings to the exhaust boxes. These will support the shield plus the shield will have two support posts that appear to go directly to the deck. A bit more research is required to confirm this.

Gary

Hi all

A bit more progress this afternoon, I added the weld details on the exhaust box supports and connected the quick release fittings to the smoker tubes. The tubes needed heating with my hot air gun to get them into the right location but it means I only have to undo the six deck screws and four retaining nuts to remove the mid deck complete with all the exhaust system still attached.

Gary
