Vespa Smallframe 50S expansion chamber

I'm in the middle of fabricating an expansion chamber for my Vespa smallframe. It's a demanding job with lots of challenges but I hope that eventually everything will go well. It seems like I will have to spend a lot of working hours along with my tig welding machine.

Busy Tuesday...

Packaging expansion chambers for Stephen(CA) and repairing some PGM units for Nick(GR). Still need to clean up a Cagiva Mito cylinder for Beez(GR) but I can't find the bottle with the muriatic acid. However, as a philosopher professor once said ...there's always room for a couple beers! 

Meanwhile in the Lab

First one ready, 6 more to go... one more for Robert(AU).

HRC Rs125 NF4 exhaust flanges

I've made some improvements on the exhaust flanges for the NF4 expansion chambers. New units will incorporate the mounting points for the exhaust springs. They look lovely, can't wait to try them out. 

Honda Rs125 NF4 expansion chamber

The forthcoming weeks will be quite difficult with some serious sheet metal forming and lots of tig welding... as I have to manufacture five Rs125 expansion chambers for Stephen(CA) and another one for James(OZ). Most probably, more pics are coming soon... Cheers!

Yamaha TZM80 Exhaust, Part 1

I'm currently building an expansion chamber for a friend. His TZM now features a YZ85 engine hence the need for a new expansion chamber that fits the bike.
