Looking for a rivet band for a Sil Motor oval carbon can.

Undrilled straps here; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...5/162015169244

A bit expensive for what they are though IMO.

Have you tried this supplier?

Careful with that C1, we had one for the girls to learn to drive in. 0 - 60 eventually.

Jeff for the cans I’ve refurbished I’ve use these for the rivets:

If you haven’t already got a decent rivet gun it’s worth the investment for stainless rivets as they can be pretty tough on the usual style hand operated ones.

Exhaust bands I’ve drilled myself from bought cut strips- loads of suppliers on eBay.

Don’t forget if using a carbon sleeve to line it with some heat reflecting tape or it’ll burn if it gets a ‘hot spot’ as the sound proofing ages.

Finally for wadding I am a big fan of Acousta-fil:

Yeah, its a beast alright.

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it drives and how it doesn't particularly handle like a small car.
But then, when I'm on four wheels I'm not that fussed about performance.
And at £20 per year tax, it can sit on the drive doing nothing most of the time without costing me too much money.
As cars go, I actually rather like it.
