You can use a metal "doughnut" Posted by John Fitzgerald [Email] (#77) [Profile/Gallery] (more from John Fitzgerald) on Sat, 10 Mar 2012 15:43:02 In Reply to: Exhaust Pipe Connection Leak, Buckeye [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:29:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Can't recall the diameter ... I measured carefully, looked through the bins in the back shelves of a local auto parts store, and put one in. Took a couple of tries, but the result silenced the leak caused by the ill fitting new flex pipe. It was a part for an American car, idk which one (on the road now, perhaps I can check the mx logbook when I get home).
Of course, assuming you replaced the rubber hangars that align and suspend the whole rest of the system, right?
Best of luck,
John
