Hi, Paul.....I finally got the electronics wired on my 13b, and the starter 
turns the engine over fine. I should have my
radiator and oil cooler installed within a week or two.  
Then, the final thing I will need is a muffler, then I can run this
thing and scare the neighbors.

       I was considering using the exhaust plate that I purchased 
from Mazdratrix (I believe that's where I purchased it, I'll
have to look at receipts), and having two 90 degree stainless 
steel tubes welded into the existing holes on the plate.  From
there, I need to go to a two-into one adapter, then to 
stainless steel flex pipe, and then I could mount a muffler to that.  It
will be much easier if and when the VAM  muffler is available, of course.

      Any suggestions for a source for a two-into one adapter?   
Unfortunately, I will be at the mercy of the local welders, as
welding is not in my job description.   Of course, I might be 
able to fabricate one with materials that are more familiar to
me.....Would you suggest Oak or Pine?  Thanks for any and all 
suggestions.  Paul Conner, Mobile, AL
