Just looking on eBay for some decent Cobalt drills

A tip for the use of cobalt drills, you need to use a proper drilling lube and a higher speed than you would with a high speed steel drill bit.

Ok the Milltek has arrived and I've had a go at separating the flange but I think it's beyond salvage :(

Does anyone know whether I will be able to get somewhere to put a new flange on ?

Wonder if MIJ would do it ?

Have you tried getting some heat into it with a blow torch?

Often works wonders with exhaust components.
