Hi Leon,
While I don't doubt this, about 4 years ago, a friend had an
impossible-to-fit system from the TSSC for his Herald 13/60. I think it
was a sports or semi-sports system, which he ended up getting fitted at
Bells, who manufactured the system in the first place! They had to bend
it in several places to get it to fit, and claimed this was a result of
the design being commonised for Spitfire and Herald (no, I didn't
understand that either!).
I've been very happy with the system on my 1200 saloon, a standard
system in stainless from John Kipping. All in price was about 100
pounds, and I've had 4 years trouble free! Nice exhaust note too!
Cheers,
Bill.
