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 |

Galvanic corrosion is the oxidation that forms when unlike metals touch each other.
There are some stainless heat exchangers, I've read, that only the shell is stainless, but the ones I've got are definitely all stainless, flanges included. It's just 304, not 316, so they do corrode and will be slightly magnetic. Maybe yours, though, are mild steel innards? Here are mine, the little square nut on the one on the right I've got to weld another one on as it's rusted away despite being stainless, probably from ... galvanic corrosion.
