OK I do need to repack the exhausts, preferably wire wool and blanket type as thats what Jorge always used.

Anyone know of a supplier?

TFYI.

I had to hunt around for ages before I could find and supplier of stainless steel wire wool, got one in Sydney eventually, but I doubt that's much help to you, soz.

Ebay!

Tried a few, seems they are the flighty type and they don't do the wire stuff :(

http://www.milneroffroad.com/PIPE.HTM near the bottom, £9 per 500g

http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p1577 ... _info.html £35 per kg

merlin was recommended to me but the price put me off so being indecisionate type i ended up not getting any at all

Hi Gio,
I managed to get some genuine Leo Vince repacking kits from M&P a couple of years ago. Maybe worth a call to see if they have any more kicking around, there was enough packing to do a pair of pipes and it was very good stuff

You can buy wire wool from Asda. No i am not kidding, look for it in the kitchen dept

Failing that, you could always try sandwich filling
You must have some past its sell by date!

P.S. You can usually get the wire wool stuff from most DIY stores.
I got some from B&Q I think, the last time I did some plumbing with copper pipes using compression fittings and needed to clean the pipe up.
It came in a sort of flat pack packet about 1/2 inch thick, so could be used as it came in strips.

M&P sell Fresco repacking material, which looks almost identical to the Leo Vince stuff I got from them. Fresco manufacture their own pipes (just in case you didn't know) so I'd assume the packing material should be of a decent quality

Wanna make sure it's stainless though. It'll rust pretty damn quick if not.

Beat me to it.

Lit a fire with steel wool tinder at the last rally, don't think that sort would be ideal
