Thanks for the offer - i'm trying to get someone local as the downpipe is huge, and will no doubt cost a fortune in postage! (
Si - tried the local zorst place and they were usless.....!

Doesn't have to be a exhaust place at all, just anywhere that has a decent mig, doesn't even need doing with SS wire either.

Steve - that sounds good too - any idea when he'd be able to do it at all?

Cheers all!

Rich,




Other than putting it in the post, go to a local fabrication firm with your down pipe marked up, with a boss and plug,
Then get them to drill it, and tig weld the boss in place. but will still be looking at £25 - 30ish to do the honours.
