Front or rear?
Rear exhaust
Stub exhaust or collector. If collector, which size Kinner? B5, B6?
Collector for a B5.
Do you have one, and if so can you take some pics and send them to me?
I don't have one but let me see what I can find. I see you said B5 in your original post....sorry bout that.
I see you are located in Sarnia, Ontario. The Canadian Warplane Heritage in Mt. Hope (Hamilton) has a Fleet Finch on display that may help you. Nice people and they may have a spare exhaust. I will ask around and see what I can find but that is a place to start.
They don't have one, already asked.. lol
I have not forgotten about your search, I have just come up empty. Very few of the Kinner powered airplanes used exhaust collectors, mostly stubs.....which of course you know. There is a picture of a Kinner Sportster on russellw.com that shows the rear exhaust collector fairly well. What type airplane is this for? Most of the Kinner powered Wacos used the stub exhaust or a front collector. I will keep asking. Never know when someone will say "oh yeah, I've got one of those..."
The reason why I want one is because someone I know owns a Fleet Finch and wants the buy the historically correct exhaust system. It would mean the world if we could find it!
