PhilT Posted October 27, 2002 Posted October 27, 2002 The packing inside my Techcraft silencer has decided that it no longer wants to be part of the car and is at present escaping at an alarming rate. Can anyone recommend a supplier of replacement material and also what is the best/ easiest method of repacking? Quote
Mark Stanton Posted October 27, 2002 Posted October 27, 2002 Techcraft also sell the new wadding for re-packing exhausts You'll need to simply remove your silencer undo the allen screws at the end, clean out all the ld stuff and re-pack with new, not toooooooooooo tight I've also heard of loft insulation stuff being used Quote
markg Posted October 27, 2002 Posted October 27, 2002 if mot testers failed my bike on the noisy micron i just raided the loft! Quote
stevejones Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 I have a Techcraft exhaust, 4 months old and works ok except a little rattly (baffle fit to the body comes loose even though I have tightened it). How long before the packing needs replacing..? Quote
peterg Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 ring Roy Lane at Techcraft for advice but it'll probably need repacking every 2-3 years depending on use - basically wait till it gets a bit noisy and then do it Quote
chrisbin Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 Reading this I seem to remember Nick M had an issue with repacking his silencer - something about the coating (?) catching fire.....?? Just thought it might be worth mentioning and apologies for lack of detail. I will go and use the dreaded search function and see if I can find it! Try here: http://wscc.ggr.net/cgi-bin....packing for starters.... Hope thats helpful! Quote
Mark Stanton Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 Nick's was a carbon silencer not a stainless one Quote
chrisbin Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 sorry! only trying to help!! I'll get me coat........... Quote
Mark Stanton Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 Sorry Chrisbin didn't mean to offend honest. Quote
