Fabricating and fitting rear pipe exit from fiberglass parts


Here is the bottom tail cone after the freehand pipe channel hot wire cuts. Not pretty and I had failed to make the fiberglass part on step one above.


I put a wood spreader between the sides so they would not pull together and used vinyl tape to make the bottom fuse mold shape


Same steps as described in step one above, wax, 2 layers glass, pattern cut and applied


Glass wrapped around mold


Epoxy cured


Tape removed and parts in place for marking


Trim tape used to lay out cut lines


Ready for cutting


Top piece cut and placed over bottom piece


Pipe exit hole marked


Pipe exit hole on bottom marked


Cutting top piece


Bottom piece marked and ready for cut


Bottom piece cut and pipe dry fit test


Pipe dry fit test from top
