Exhaust Flange repair clamp

Evening all.


Has anyone had any experience of using an exhaust flange repair clamp? One of the "ears" has broken the my exhaust & cat. If washers either side don't work I was thinking of trying a pair of them, assuming I can't find any that fit! They all seem to be in the U.S and postage is £20

This would work but I'd need 2 at £75 each... :nonod:

Seen vids on them...like this one..

Yea, I saw one. Just seems odd you can't get them in the UK

yeh but you could cut and weld them to fit behind....maybe this type of flange is meant to be used if you chop off the old flange and weld on the new....or you could ask a magician.............

I like your thinking!

I've bolted it back together with some silicone ( which isn't as easy to use as the videos show, it doesn't want to leave the tube... neat continuous bead my ass) so will see what tomorrow brings! stage two could be mummifying the joint

i work in the recon engine trade....we stopped using tubes of exhaust paste years ago....remember putting a tube in the vice to get some out....now we use a paint on exhaust sealer....i used the paint on type when i did my exhaust refurb....no problems!

Nice exhaust parts! It's awful stuff.... however, this morning it's not blowing so I may have just saved it for a while longer. It's now got me wondering whether I should invest in a welder... I can think of so many things I can weld nuts onto......how hard can it be?

which I foud ok.
That's what I thought.

I tried ARC and got on reasonably well.

I then got a MIG and was useless so I did a year of night school City and Guild welding at the local FE college

Exhaust paste...this is the brush on type we use...its made or supplied from volvo
