The two brackets on my downpipe snapped because the engine brace was loose. This has since been tightened & I need the brackets welded back on. Apparently you need a tig (dunno if this is spelt right) welder to do it on stainless steel & no garage has got one [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Anyone know where I can go???

 

Maffa,

Try RSR in Redhill, they have all the equipment to make Stainless Steel exhausts, so rewelding something shouldn't be a problem.

Check the local yellow pages under Steel Fabrication or welding and look for someone who does TIG. It will only take a few minutes to weld them back on and won't cost much. You can MIG weld stainless but you need the proper stainless wire to stop it from rusting away later. You can also ARC it but you need very expensive rods.

Welding used to be my trade but I stopped a few years ago.

Nathan..

 

As said above any fabrication shop or motorbike garage...

If you were near leeds I could recommend a few...

David

 

Awesome thanks guys

Stainless stell can be welded very easily with mild steel wire. Obviously after many years it will rust, and if you are fussy about it being all shiny then probably wont like it. But for all the welding that would be seen, it works perfectly fine. I actually find it much easier to weld than normal mild steel.

 

Why not just go upto to Hayward and Scott in Essex, Basildon! Am sure they can sort you out. Don't H&S make the Scoobysport exhausts?

Regards

 

Bit of a trek I'll try the gaff in Redhill first

 

Hey Matt

Try a Stainless Steel Exhaust Welder, simple

Dave

 

Oi there's no call for that I'm trying

 

Matt, look in the yellow pages for metal fabricators and find one with a TIG welder and they should be able to do it.

Or you could always use blue tack

Sam

 

you can say that again

Maffa you comming to Surrey meet tomorrow?

 

Blue Tack LOL Yeah thanks Sammy I'm phoning that gaff in Redhill tomorrow & if I have no joy i'll try a metal fabrication company as there's one around the corner. Last resort though as they'll probably want the offending item without the car - downpipe removal

Ian - won't be coming to the Surry meet i'm afraid as it's my stepdads birthday & my mum's coooking one of her famous roast dinners I'll catch up with you at another meet though.
