So in an earlier post I put a picture of my exhaust ports. These have now been fitted. It was a pretty simple job, They are sealed in with 3M 4200, man that stuff is sticky. I masked everything up and still managed to get it everywhere.
The process as pretty simply. I made a skid for my trim router that turns it into a "power" compass. Then drilled a hole in the centre of the port location. A bolt then acted a the centre point. You will note I didn't cut the full circle, this is because the bit that gets cut out also is supporting the router. One mistake I did make was I should have started and stopped at 12 o'clock, not 3'o'clock, the centre piece sorted of twisted out under the weight of the router. I had to support it.
The port is held in by 4 x M5 threaded rods that are welded into the port. These ports have flaps and I nearly got caught out in that the position of the threaded rods around the circumference of the port where not consistent between the two ports.
