Title: Brooklands cans
Post by: JFerg on December 07, 2011, 06:30:01 AM

Is there anyone who makes small sized "Brooklands cans"??

I have a twin port 350cc dog-ear JAP racer as my next project.  I need to get a pair of cans for it so that I can have an exhaust made in order that I can fit the footrests etc.  The only proprietary cans I can find all seem to come from the one place and are huge, at 24" long.  That's doubtless fine on a thundering 1,000cc twin, but far too big for me.

Brooklands rules required the "official receiver" (can) to have a volume six times the swept piston displacement, which for a twin port is then spread across two cans.  I need cans that are only a smidge over 1 litre, a third the size of what is available.  With 4" fishtails, I'm expecting an overall length under 18", versus 24" of the available types.

Thanks,

JFerg
