chuff pipe is easy enough, jsut get some pipe that fits over the exhaust boss, cut a slot in the bottom, and another at the top crimp the top. done

Yes! Mistakes as you say are a really good way of learning (believe me!) But dont scrap anything if it does work! Your next attempt may not work as well and thus money is lost. Just have a go and if it ain't broke don't fix it! (I should really listen to my own advise more often!)

You didn't tell me that one! Here's one of mine which in general have less of a ring to them:

If at first you don't succeed, have a cup of tea and think it over.

That generaly works for me!
