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 |

SSI got cheap with teh 914 HEs and used mild steel on the flanges for a while.
Maybe they used mild steel for the nuts as well. You can weld stainless with mild steel wire it works, not the best choice but it works. Welding mild steel flanges on to stainless pipes is not much different than stainless flanges to stainless pipes with mild wire. Jim |
