Hi folks,
I have another thread on installing a new alternator bracket. While doing this job I discovered that the 1 1/4" pipe coming out of the exhaust manifold bracket is loose. You can even shake it side to side. I'm current struggling with removing the exhause hose, I'll probably have to cut it off and replace.
Here's my question: If by chance the bracket which attaches to the end of the manifold has the threads worn out and the pipe cannot be tightened up I'll first try to see if Torrenson has a replacement. If none is available is there some kind of heat resistant epoxy, or liquid metal kind of product I could use? I wonder if taking it to a machine shop and having them weld it would work?
Any thoughts?

Wouldn't it be great to be able to afford a brand new boat?
