Hi All,
My 3aj exhaust header pipe has blown.
Even a temp repair won't hold the heat and pressure.
Does anyone have experience of a mend?
Does anyone know where I can source a replacement?
None on EBay.
:(
Thanks.

Re: Blowing in the Wind
Thanks, Jibber,
I reckon that if I can get a secondhand one I would weld a reinforcing plate at the spot where they always go: on the tight bend that bears the brunt of the hot gases.
Please tell me how much you would like for it.

Re: Blowing in the Wind
That's very kind of you.
Maybe I have something to swap.

Re: Blowing in the Wind
Jibber,
The header pipe fitted just fine.
So I am definitely in you debt.
But............
Oonly until I drop something round your place.................!
Thanks again.
If you hear about a local screening of this film: http://whyweride.com/ perhaps you'd let me know?
