Re: [T3] Exhaust leak at HE/muffler connection question


I've never seen them for sale but I guess they're #15 at
http://www.hallvw.clara.net/type3/T3pbo/T3pb2-12.htm  - a sort of flat ring.
You might be able to make something to take up the gap from glass-fibre tape and
exhaust sealing paste.  They seal the end of the shrouding from getting exhaust
blow-by in.

The big clamps you have are #14 I assume.

Make sure you don't seal the leak into the heat-exchanger shroud or you'll get
exhaust gases into the car.  You may need that pipe repaired, or use a heater
repair stub (should be available from a good flaps - they fit a Bug too, or turn
them up in a lathe if you can).
