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 |

You are actually getting in to more complicated fabrication, but still pretty easily done. You need to drill out the spot welds on the clam shells and replace the section of tube that has blown out, the re-weld. Don't forget to pickle the metal or it will rust after it has been welded.
You my find it actually easier to just have new tubes made and re-use the clamshells. |
