Those welds were: > 1. Cracks welded up on heat shield and small one on muffler body. > 2. Tack welds on upper exchanger-to-exhaust joint to keep from working > loose. > 3. Strengthening welds to lower exchanger-to-muffler joints to patch holes. > 4. Flanges welded to lower muffler-to-exchanger pipe that was pre-welded > there as a 'fix'. I had to cut them in 1/2 to remove the exhaust system > in the first place. > 5. Bolted it all up and then tack welded the right upper exchanger. > Removed it all and welded the upper exchanger to the muffler > > Whew! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
