Hi Peter,
Understood that this was a problem, the classic 'donor' that we will be
using is a tri-gear. Despite the logistical problems, it is exactly for this
reason (and others) as to why it makes sense to get a classic into the
workshop to iron out any small problems that have occurred by CKT copying
systems that they were given in the past to pattern from.
We are hoping to get a date fairly soon that suits those concerned but it
may take a short while before they actually become available 'off the
shelf'.
Richard

Just a quick note which may prevent a problem - we recently purchased an
exhaust from Europa that they managed to find for us but it wouldn't fit
onto a Tri-gear Classic as the angle and length of the tail pipe was wrong
and it fouled the nose leg - had to get it cut off and rewelded so, if
you're going to get CKT to copy one, might be an idea to be sure it fits a
Tri Gear.

-->Hi Roger,
This is already in hand. As ckt have never actually had a classic in their
workshop and have had to rely on modelling their systems on something
supplied to them, this is where problems have arisen.
Within the next couple of weeks we will be getting a local classic into the
CKT workshops and therefore ensuring that any subsequent systems will have
any small problems ironed out.
Systems will then be readily available from Roger at Europa to ensure future
availability,
Kind regards
Richard Scanlan

Richard / All UK Classic Owners,
Further to your response on 4/6/09 I totally agree that the Classic Exhaust
should be regarded as a consumable and have already had to replace four
stainless exhaust stubs. It will only be a matter of time before the
expansion chamber fails in some way - so there certainly is a future need.
Unfortunately the exhaust is an expensive item and not many people will want
to buy one "just in case" - it would be far better if we could persuade CKT
to resume production.
In this context, I contacted Roger Bull at the Factory. The good news is
that, according to Roger, CKT are prepared to manufacture Classic exhaust
again and, presumably, keep it in stock, providing they can gain access to a
classic Europa to check the fit. I would volunteer for this but,
unfortunately CKT are in Devon.
Are any Europa Classic owners who live near Devon prepared to help CKT
please?
Best Regards
Roger Mills
