Technical question from a newby

[CyberBitZ]

Hi all from downunder oz, I'm saying that because I am not sure where you guys are from. I'm writing in because I have come in the posession of a mystery exhaust piece which I cannot identify anywhere on the net.

Being a tradesman sheet metal worker I recognize a well made product when I see one and this exhaust seems to be one. It is made of one sixteenth stainless steel, the pipes are 2.5" in diameter and it has one muffler on each pipe with a third muffler with both pipes going through it.

Stamped on the third muffler is;

05D06A
WALKER 5B
GA11679

There is a faded rectangular sticker on it which I think says;

08C-0411G5

Does anybody have any idea what it is I have here?

Cheers!

Henk

That is a hard one, I know - I searched everywhere but came up with zilch.

Another question; we are doing up this old Ford Econovan 1993 in a rather different way. We are using it at the markets as a kind of mobile stall with a difference. We are running 4 U.P.S. units in it producing 240V (oz standard) of 24 batteries to run a computer stall, umbrella with lights, lights stall, music stall, pictures stall, speakers stall and what have you stall etc.

We cut holes in the side of the van to mount 2x 26" lcd monitors to add a bit of show playing music clips (my favourite is Shania Twain).

Ah; the things you come up with after a rogue real estate person rips your beloved shop off you for $110,000 profit and leaves you for dead. But that's half the fun of life - the comeback!.

So the question is; we would like to paint our econovan using the foam roller method (due to lowish funding) that we have read about so much on US sites but we don't know what paint to use (really we don't know much about this at all). The plus side is that the van already has a grey undercoat on it done by the previous owner and it is a good job.

Any ideas?

Cheers - Henk
