matdave Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Some years ago I decided to take my vitesse off the road as a rebuild project - body and chassis needed fair bit of work, during moves between garages the exhaust manifold snapped just above the flange that connects to the downpipe. I am having no luck getting a replacement tubular replacements dont look right and are very expensive. As an alternative I thought i could somehow square off the end and manufacture some sort of clamp to connect to the downpipe, any thoughts or is this just a barking idea. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
