Reply With QuotePretty sure you can get them, but I don't know a local supplier personally. Grey Ghost bought one for his series 2 locally (not sure if it will be the same, but it was for a 3 bolt manifold.)
Managed to punch a hole in Sandy's exhaust pipe just under the passenger seat. 1976 Series III LWB.
So I need a new pipe from the manifold to the first tailpipe junction. My manifold has three bolts attaching the pipe. The only local spares I have seen have four.
Can anyone advise sources? Or do I need to have one made?

SubscriberI have a SWB and I just ordered one of these
It appears to have a three bolt flange and so does their LWB version. It hasn't arrive yet, will let you know when it does. If it doesn't I will simply cut then weld the original fitting to it. This pictures sure do look like three bolt flanges though.

Hi C00P,
I sourced mine from here... Four Wheel Drives Pty Ltd, Largest Range of 4x4 Parts and Accessories in Australia.
Be careful though - the first one that they provided was a Britpart - it was the wrong shape and wouldn't line up correctly..
They said that they had never experienced that problem before. Luckily for me I had kept the original so I took it into them, so that they could see the difference between original vs Britpart.. The difference was in the bend (it's hard to explain) - but the bend was the wrong angle, and so you couldn't line it up with the manifold / remainder of the existing system...
They then sourced a Bearmarch part - and that fitted like a glove!
Cheers,
Grey Ghost.

Hi Aussie Bob,
Used the guys a number of times.
Found them very helpful, easy to talk to, get the correct bits ordered.
They have all my details, just order with part number, 2 to 3 days delivery.
Just don't eat the mints, if you have fillings.
Let us know how it fits as I will need one.

section out the punched in bits with a cutting wheel or die grinder and then cut a section out of a same size bit of pipe as your exhaust thats about an inch over size for the hole and then weld it on. should take all of 20 minutes in an exhaust shop, as a temp patch you can oi it with a bit of tin can, black gasket sealastic and hose clamps.

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
Thanks folks for all the advice and suggestions. I've ordered a replacement part from one of those and will check it carefully when it arrives to ensure it is a match to the original.
As for repairing it, well (1) it is not only holed, but also squashed flat over a significant length, and bent before and after the squashed bit (2) I don't have a cutting wheel or die grinder (3) I don't have any replacement pipe- not sure where to get some, (4)I can't weld for peanuts on anything less than 3 mm thick(and even then it looks like spoggy droppings), (5) At current workshop rates, getting the job done this way by an exhaust shop would probably cost about the same as buying a new part. (Maybe it shouldn't but that's the way of the world).
I like your suggestion for a temporary repair and would do this if it was just a hole. In fact, I think a temp repair on the hole would be counter productive, as the hole is letting the exhaust gas out and if I closed it off I think the engine power would be even more restricted.
However, I will keep the old part and maybe get it fixed as a spare. I was thinking of cutting the two flanged ends off and fitting a suitable length of flexible stainless pipe in between. The flexible pipe needed would cost about the same as a new part, and would have the advantage of moving out of the way if it gets hit again. This is a vulnerable area in the LWB machines when going over sharp rises.
Cheers
