Does anyone know if the Power Jet ( 2 into 1 ) 62 SR exhaust, is reproduced by anyone ?

The only 2 into 1 exhaust that the A10 had was fitted to to the Rocket Gold Star in 1962, not the Super Rocket.

There are a few companies that make two into ones for A10's but fitment is always a problem. It seems that you can buy two identical systems from the same manufacturer and one will fit and the other wont.

I have bought all my exhausts from Armours for many years and they have always fitted well, maybe the occasional tweak to a bracket but usually bolt straight on. However I recently bought a two into one for a plunger A10 and it wasnt even close, took me a lot of work to fit it.

If I bought another one I would buy it unplated, fit it and then get it chromed.

Well this says SR,,



Brian :  Thanks, I guess the chances of finding a original is pretty slim , eh ?

Did they fit the A7 ?

I have never fitted a siamese system to a A7, but they are probably available somewhere.

The chances of finding an original system that is in good enough condition to have rechromed and use would be fairly small I would imagine, but you never know.

I am sure someone has bought a system that fitted as it should, hopefully they will reply to your post with some more info.

David,
              Humble beat me to it.
         My friend bought a new Big Valve in 1962 and it came with the siamese system.
Probably an American market thing as his was just that.

I got a siamese system from jrpclassics on ebay UK and it fits quite well. I needed to cut 1/4" off the end of the LH side that fits into the head as it was very close to the downtube, and correct a slight ovality. The pipes are a good fit in the head and didn't need any "persuading" to fit.
