1950 Frazer Nash “The Pupil has become The Master!”
filed in News on Jul.17, 2009
It was last year when a customer walked into RS Fabrications to have modifications made to the exhaust silencers on his Ducati Monster. Once the Ducati had been booked in and the customer had left, Russell turned to Shane an said “I know that Bloke from somewhere.” and after much deliberation Russell continued “I think he used to be my College Lecturer at Windsor & Maidenhead Technical College.”
When Mike Ormond returned to RS Fabrications to drop of the Ducati, Russell asked the Question “Do I know you from somewhere?” to which Mark replied ” I may have taught you” and then looking at Russell continued “Varnals! You F***er!”
After chatting about old times and Engineering College, i.e. the time Russell road his XT 500 up the front steps of the College, into the canteen, and back out again, they both had a good laugh. “I was suspended from college for a week for that one.” commented Russell “Mike’s sense of humour seems to have got better!”
Mike then commissioned RS Fabrications to manufacture an equal length primary manifold for the Bristol Engine in his 1950 Frazer Nash, along with a full stainless exhaust system for the vehicle.
“Obviously Russell has been taught very well, look at the quality of the RS Fabrications product” said Mike “sometimes the most difficult, can be the most creative!”
The 6 Cylinder Bristol engine received 2 tuned length manifolds with racing 3 into 1 merged collectors and spring retainers. The system then passed through the Frazer Nash bodywork into external side mounted secondary twin pipes, again feeding into a 2 into 1 merged collector. The remaining exhaust then passes under the rear axel and into a 5″ X 14″ Stainless Steel Silencer with a rear exit tailpipe.
As you can see, The Pupil has become The Master!
