Is the body of it cracked or is it the tube at the rear. If the tube at the rear it is fixable - Daveyboy welded a new piece of tube on for me and it is sorted. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

It is the tube at the rear, but I wasn't sure if it would be weldable in the condition it is in. It would be a much easier solution if it is! |

The advice I received was as long as it is sound elsewhere, it is fine to weld on a new piece. Check all the seams etc. Daveyboy cut mine off where yours was cracked and welded on a new bit of tube. I wouldn't bother just welding up that crack, it might last, it might not. Jim needed to keep the orientation of the rear sleeve so immobilised it in a jig first and cut a new piece to exact fit, and welded it in. Cat has to come off the car to do it though, and you'll need a new front connection kit to secure it to the downpipe. I'd PM Daveyboy if I were you. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Had the same ,same time same place,I welded it up and it went through the MOT but it's back as before now.lasted about a month I did use an arc welder though maybe to brittle for it. ________________________________________ pet hate, the cat |
