any pointers please?
guys, I'm going to be changing over my centre section for a nice stainless decat section - easy job to do? do I need ramps? joining compand on the flange bits? - any pointers greatfully received, thanks in advance, Olly :)

hopefully the bolts wont be a pig to get undone :cuckoo: Car is 1999 Uk Wagon Turbo 2000 The front section is sealed with a tapered graphite/Carbon ring which sits over the Dpipe, These can deteriorate over time, But generally are not to bad, The rear section has a steel sandwhich gasket, Which again normally falls apart once removed. As for resealing just use a high temp silicone (they do make Cat safe stuff, But you have no cats :D), Put a bead on the inside face (Dpipe Side) where the Sealing ring touches & a bead either side of the old rear gasket (assuming it survives) Just before you nip everything up good & tight, you may want to get someone to align the backbox & hold it there as you tighten fully, as they can move :thumb: Simple job really if the bolts undo, If not, good old hacksaw & some new ones from B & Q Etc :D Dean |
A very precise and detailed reply there!, you're a star mate, may thanks (printing this off as we speak!) ;)
