Kingfisher exhaust inner
Can anyone give me dimensions for and preferably pics of a kingfisher inner exhaust? I am trying to build one from bits and don't have an exhaust and John is out of re made ones. Cheers Arbian

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Arbian,
I can take some pics and measure one up a little later today. Do you have a long or short shaft? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but I think they may have had different lengths for inner exhaust?

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Flange base is 1/4" thick, 1 "high inner tube to receive the 1 1/4" diameter inner exhaust tube... Let me know if you need more?
Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Many thanks for that NaughtyBits. Of the four holes in the flange I am guessing two are plain for the attachment studs from block to go through, one is threaded for the waterpipe brass attachment but what is the other one for? I see the exhaust opening in the flange is a slot, presumably beyond that it is just plain tube (and all mild steel)?? Cheers for the help much appreciated. Arbian

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Yes - the two (horizontal in pic) are for the studs - although I'd replace the studs with allen head/socket head bolts.
The 4th, smaller threaded hole (at bottom in pic) is for a nut drilled to direct water to the inner exhaust for cooling.
I've temporarily misplaced the one that came off, but I'll see if I can find it. Alternatively, you can re-tapped & fit a new compression fitting with a 1/4" copper pipe directed accordingly to do the same job.
Inner exhaust were aluminium, that I've seen (except for 1 on a 170, were the tube appears to be stainless on a steel flange)

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Thanks, I couldn't figure what that hole was for. The image on the main site of the re made ones had a hole in the tube part way down, does the original have this? If so how far down and what diameter. Cheers Arbian

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
The top hole is 1/4", 3 3/8" from the base of the flange. The second hole is 3/8", 5 3/4" from the base of the flange.
I have no idea if this is consistent with others or has been played with, though.

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Grand, Looks same as the re made ones. Can you tell me which flange hole these line up with? Thanks

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
They line up with the large water delivery tube.
Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
That's great, thanks very much for your help. I should be able to have a crack at making one now. I guess if I could use stainless it might last better, I hear they had a tendency to corrode badly. Thanks again Arbian.
Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Only mystery now is that water spray nut thing. Will look up the spares book, might still be able to buy one. Arbian
Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
Curlew one..... are they the same? Note O ring to stop waterpipe chatter.

Re: Kingfisher exhaust inner
The return water feed is basically a 4mm diameter jet of water directed over the inner exhaust tube.
