Holy Crap, a 97 page build! Everyone should flip through this one.

Tell me about the exhaust pipes, is that plate a fastener, heat shield or a splitter?

I think that's a skid plate, but not sure. It's been a while since I went through his thread.

Looks like an expansion chamber. Is it a two stroke?

Is the Rapier a Rootes group twin of the Hillman Minx? I seem to remember it as such.
