Exhaust Elbow
Fixing the Exhaust elbowToday we went to do errands and shopping but on our way home we picked up the new/repaired exhaust elbow. The braided flex joint was completely rotton and leaking so we had a new braid sleeve joint welded on. They did a great job and so Sam and I put it back in. We did a video of it which will show up on youtube eventually. It went mostly without a hitch. Two of the studs on the heat exchanger had damaged threads both on the bolt and the nut making it feel stripped. I got into my box-o-bolts and found two new nuts with fresh threads and they tightened right up. I'll have to remember not to over tighten them. We also put in high temprature exhaust gaskets like used in performance exhaust headers.
Layla spent time in her favorite place... on the floor in the way of everything so we gave her a basket to keep her tail safe.
