Hi all,
It looks like the top section and the bottom section of OEM heat exchanges are simply crimped at the seams. Does anyone know if it is feasible to un-crimp them, take them apart and later on re-crimp them? If so, then I'll have a go at using the spare set of heat exchangers I have (with some modifications) for the heat exchangers on my to-be-built exhaust for my 2.8L Corvair transplant. Thanks all, Dave Oz |

Good pun. My cunning plan may work. It may not. But nothing to lose by giving it a go. Can't legally register a car here where I live if the windscreen demisters don't work, so short of installing a 12v heater / hair dryer I've got to have heat exchangers. Can't think of a cheaper more pragmatic way than to try to modify a spare set I already have. |
