edging trim
I have cut a new hole for my exhaust in my side panel, if I leave an inch gap all round the single exhaust pipe can I use rubber edgeing trim on the
edge or will it melt??
what is a safe(ish) distance for this trim in relation to the exhaust as I have other areas Id like to use it.
Thanks Andrew.

I put rubber trim around the front and rear edges of my lolocost silencer , silencer is knackered but the trim is still ok .Would have thought that
using it to trim around the side panel would be OK .

I did that too, trim survived but SVA man failed it as not durable enough, go
figure.

I didn't use trim there, just cut the hole close enough to the pipes and then the SVA man can't contact the edges with his sphere.

was that still ok for the " sheet metal edges must be turned back by 180 degrees" bit in the manual???
Be nice if it was, cos I have the same problem around my exhaust and filter in the bonnet.

Yes it passed all sections, return edges and the sphere test, I think the bonnet edges may be looked at closer as some idiot may stick there finger in
a bonnet surface .

oh ok, jolly good!
I have no folded returns on the bonnet either, but I can whack edge trim round that for SVA
