Blowing in the Wind

Post by Richardhamiltonfox »

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.

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.
Thanks.

That's very kind of you.
Maybe I have something to swap.

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?
