You'll all be glad to hear the finger is well on the mend and can be used long as there's no sideways force to it.
Between the grinder, air saw and Dremel the silencer has gone from this:
To this:
And started on making one of the new parts to get welded in.
The hole cutter I have is no where up to the job and failed within 5 mins of being pushed so that's the next hurdle.

I guess you'll be chain drilling & filing then - bit of a ball ache!

Next job was to take this
And this out
And was achieved using a hole cutter and new larger guide the workshop quickly turned up for me (cheer lads!)
Had to take the Dremel to some spot welds to this this part off
So now I have a clean outlet to work with.

Who did you use for painting. I need to get my Tyga Carbon mudguard painted standard Red.

Baffle turned up from Cyprus, and was immediately cut up
Got this made by the workshop at work from my proper fag packet drawing, they had some 57mm stainless offcuts kicking around luckily.
Drilled all the holes out the solid part
Got it welded up, made it really restrictive so I've got the option to open it out
Measured and cut the excess off
Fits!
The end is in sight!
