Hi and welcome!

What kind of French lathe? I live in France and am on a good French Machine and machining forum with lots of technical information.

Regards, Matthew.

Hi Micktoon
It's a long time ago since we made RC exhausts. Actually last time was the early 90's .

They were simply made from milled bar 16x10mm with 16 or 19mm x 1mm alum tube which was bent to approx 135deg flattened using a former to maintain the shape required, which was a flat oval.
The 'header' bar would have a recese milled to registar on to the exhaust port.

When cleaned up & assembled we used aluminium solder made by 'Camping Gaz', which is a brazing process as the temps required are near critical temps for aluminium.

Sorry I don't have any photos. I'll have a look and see if I can find any bits or units left over.

We called the exhausts 'Rip Speed' we sold/traded them into a local model shop, as well as making the usual range for 40's 60's ect we made one off specials for scale planes to conceal/replicate the outlets.
