anyone fancy a bit of welding? (exhaust problems)

Post by David Bryce » Wed Aug 08, 2007 9:18 pm

when I put my exhaust on a few months ago I realised that one of the brackets was buggered (and should have dealt with it then)

it's now at the point where it is vibrating like hell and sounds horrible when sitting still (it can't be heard while driving for obvious reasons :wink: )

so, is there anyone willing and able to do a bit of welding to it for me in return for many pints? :D

I know this is a problem with the stage2 - not sure if welding would only be putting it off as it will happen again (or it`ll then fail internally like kennys + mine did)

Good excuse to go 2bular....

well finally got round to sorting it on Sunday

one hangover, one pair of ramps, very basic tools and under-tray off

(spray painted the under-tray while I was at it using some satin black Hammerite :D god it looks sooooo much better, why don't they do that as standard?)

then using some brute force and ignorance I just bent the offending brackets out of the way so there is now no vibration and it sounds like it should, ie just bloody loud without any other annoying noises :D
