At the back where we normally put a proper bracket to hold the exhaust in its place, it is now just a hole. I use silicon tubing as the insulator on a cut out of Epoxy Glass sheet. |
| This picture just shows you the system in its place and at its short pipe positon. |  |

This picture just shows you the system in its place and at its long pipe positon. |
| I weld a ball joint onto the top and bottom of the pipe that needs to slide into the seal . I then use silicon tubing to act as a rubber absorption mount for the lever which goes round a bolt that screws into the ball joint that is welded in place. This allows for durability and no worry about the heat from the exhaust pipe.The other side I use a normal plastic clip on like you wold for any other servo connection. |  |

You can see the water cooling jacket is covering the area where the silicon ring is in. |
| As you can see the lever moves the shaft in and out from both the top and bottom. |  |

With it disconnected from the 2 levers you can see the o-ring with the cooling pipes and the exhaust with the 2 levers on it. The exhaust is just held on with silicon tubing and normal cable ties. Take note the the tube from the exhaust pipe has been turned in the lathe to make sure it is smooth and round. It is a good loose fit in the housing that holds the silicon seal. |

Take note that only 1 o-ring is used. It is not necessary to use 2. But if you want to get
fancy you can. Take note that if you make it too tight then you end up with not being able
to move it with the servo. I use a normal High speed 4kg servo to move the exhaust.
This is more than strong enough.
