Re: K-2 Scammell Heavy Wreck Truck
I've had a few with the exhaust end missing.
I drill a hole down the centre of the silencer / muffler ...
Use a hand pin drill, NOT a power drill, to get the hole dead centre.
You can use a power drill once you get the hole started,
but I persevere with the hand pin drill.
You then have a choice ...
Insert a suitable length of steel / aluminium rod to replicate the lost end ...
or ... a suitable length of steel / aluminium tube, which looks a lot better.
So, you can go for the original look or the custom look.
