The original exhaust which came with the car was completely rusted away and should be replaced. Originally the car was equipped with a single exhaust but I think a dual exhaust looks much better. With respect to originality this should’t be problem because it is a replacement part. (A single exhaust can be mounted in the future is needed)

The new dual exhaust from Bell (BSS-JR-003, XK140/XK150 LHD manual) consists of:

  • BSJR37 Front pipe left
  • BSJR38 Front pipe right
  • BSJR39 Silencer left
  • BSJR40 Silencer right
  • BSJR43P Tail Pipe left
  • BSJR44P Tail Pipe right

Nuts, Bolts and Clamps

The clamps, needed to fasten the exhaust pipes to each other have different diameters, 58mm for the front side of the silencer and 48 for the rear side.

The prop shaft was a part that was in one of the boxes with parts that came with the car. It was not clear to me if the prop shaft was originally on the car or not. The length of the prop shaft is about 41″ but, due to the fact the rear axle and engine where already removed, it was not possible to check if the length of the pro shaft was correct.

After the prop shaft is thoroughly cleaned and painted, new cross coupling bearings are mounted.
