There's a hole in my bucket dear.....

Post by AquaMan »

Left RoSPA sun lunchtime and went for a blast home on the back roads....had a small burn up with a boy racer :lol: and when I reached the next town the exhaust note had changed, bugger :? . Got home and, yup, it was blowing. Stripped the panels off last night and discovered a small hole in the down pipes. I'll bandage it for now but it looks like the beginning of the end for the down pipes so I'd better start saving :cry: :x :cry:

Hahaha.....I didn't take any offence m8y :D
You've got to read that post in your best Margo voice (as in the Good Life).
'Well really Jerry, that's the last time I play the Tart for you!'

I think a nice gun gum bandage will hold for a fair while. The hole is on a straight piece of pipe before it enters the collector box, so should be an easy repair. When I replace the down pipes I'll plump for the most reasonably priced stainless steel item I can find.

And the hole has returned. The bandage wasn't up to the job :(
I've taken the pipes off and I'm getting it welded instead 8)
That should sort it :x
