Hello all,
Wondering if any of you know where to purchase just the exhaust flange for a 73 1.7? This is the rectangular type with two holes. I have a set of SSIs I got for a reasonable price on ebay that need new flanges. I'm not really concerned with getting stainless steel flanges, just something I can weld onto whats there. Would this be overly difficult to fabricate? Do you think a local muffler shop would have them? Thanks! -George |

The only ones available from Engman are stainless and for a 2.0, which from what I gather won't fit a 1.7 anyway. Even then I'm not set up to weld stainless - I'd be welding stainless to stainless with regular wire. I think I'll just try to make a template from whats left and try to fab my own from blank steel. No idea how I'm going to cut the holes - hole saw maybe? I'll have to look into galvanic corrosion, but since the original ones had steel flanges, is this really that big of a deal? Thanks again guys. |
