Land Rover Series IIA 88 exhaust system replacement

[ricoswee]

The POs of my 65 Land Rover Series IIA 88 (bought last year and stored since) produced a thing of beauty on the outside and the interior, but underneath—


The exhaust pipe broke off from the very rusty muffler. And a repair record noted stripped threads in the exhaust header. I’m considering replacing it all, from header to tailpipe (LH exit). Anyone done this who can suggest things I should look out for?

I would also replace all the exhaust hangers , including the fabric flexible parts and their compression limiters ( Item 41 in picture)for the fixing bolts, as they are often omitted. Also replacing steel nuts fixing exhaust to the header with brass , helps next time they need to come off

Thanks for your advice.

Will do as you say.
