A couple of Techie questions on Stainless HEs, since I need to have one of the manifold lug ears welded anyway...
1. Can I have the welder close off the ends of the heat shroud at the front & rear of the HE around the exhaust pipes?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) They don't appear to need to be open for air flow to the cabin heater loop, but are notorious places for exhaust gas & oil spatter to get in & (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)  2. What's the best way to have the welder replace the mild steel end flanges at the muffler (which are welded in), with the new SS flanges from Engman - so I don't end up too short for the 2L muffler bracket position??
