I still need a 1976 or 77 penton ktm 250 exhaust pipe.  I am having a problem finding this pipe, I need everyones help.  This pipe is the only thing keeping my bike project from completion.  I am looking for an intake manifold for a 76 77 penton ktm mc5 250.  As my original manifold has 1 and a half inches cut off of the intake to fit a big carb.  Which was a mistake.  How will this affect my motor if I use this intake manifold with that much cut off?  I was told by KTM dealers that it would make the motor run more peaky.  Or should I run with the original manifold that is longer?  I would also like to find a seat in new or excellent condition for this 76 77 penton ktm mc5 250.  
Thanks

Looking forward to meeting you guys at VMD.  I will be looking for an exhaust pipe, seat and foot pegs for a 1977 Penton 250 MC5.  
The dream never dies.

Thanks for all the help.

[All I need is a little help....could someone respond?]

All I need is a little help....could someone respond? I know that there are people out there that know the answer to my question. Here is some more info to help you out....
Head milled
Cylinder and Engine Cases Ported
Crank turbo fanned and stuffed
and
the inside of motor sprayed with black teflon.
.....Hey Tom Brosius....you sold me this pipe without a silencer, so you should know the stinger length and inside diameter of the stinger.  You have the same bike as I do.


I need help!  I have a 1977 250 MC5.  The engine is highly modified.  What size lectron carb should I use and metering rod number should I use?  Some people say 38 millimeter and some say 36 millimeter.  I cut about an inch off my intake manifold.  There is about an inch left on the manifold sleeve.  Just enough to mount a carb.  How will this affect the performance of my motor? I also need to know the inside daimeter of the silencer outlet.  I have been told 1" and 1 1/8".  What length should the silencer be?  I purchased a pipe from Tom but it did not have a silencer on it.  It was cut off.  I need to know this information to finish my bike project.
Hope you can help!

History made July 17, 2004.  Two great racers meet, John Penton and JohnnyO.

The frame is a replacement KTM frame.  There are no numbers stamped on this frame anywhere.  The there are two different mounting positions for the footpegs, so I believe it would make the frame a 1977.  If anyone knows where I can get footpegs please let me know.  I have pictures of the exact footpeg I need.  I can email them.  I also need an exhaust but the motor is a 1976.  If anyone knows where I can get one of these, please let me know.
Would it be possible to find these items at the VMD show?  I plan on attending.

I am looking for a 1976 Penton KTM 250 mc5 exhaust pipe and footpegs for a 1977 frame.  I don't have the original frame, but I think the frame I have is a 1977 because the foot pegs mount at two different positions and it doesn't on the 1976 frame.  The motor is a 1976 and I believe the frame is a 1977.  If someone knows about frames and years and would be willing to help me out, I can email a picture of the bike.  Please email me at [email protected]
Thanks
