Does anyone still sell the floor start style exhaust as pictured below? The later exhaust passes very close to the switch terminals!

These two pictures show the difference between a standard single box system on the left and a system for a floor start Mk1.

i still have a couple of new van/estate floor start type exhausts

could u modify these to fit a saloon? or weld the front half into a modern system?

in all fairness,,i just warm em up and bend to give necessary clearance

correct me if im wrong,,but the pinched/crimped silencers were only available as a budget aftermarket system anyway,werent they?

The exhaust in question is for my brothers early Traveller, see below:

He has fitted exhaust but it is very close to starter button terminals.........will see if he can heat and bend pipe as you suggested if he thinks it is a problem. He also has a 1960 Austin 7 with same issue but never realised/remembered there was a subtle difference in early exhaust shape.

I think I may have had crimped boxes from BL in later years but not 100% sure now.

im sure i have a nos unipart early exhaust system that has the crimped box.

will have a rummage

We have recently fitted a NOS Unipart crimped, single box, system to our Mk2 998.

I cut down a floor start van exhaust for my 1960 850 and have another NOS one as a spare, should I ever need it.
