Last night I found that I was able to make an adaptor to match to the mid pipe using a bit of the pipe that was sent me to from ebay, that I hadn’t needed. I bonded this on with Gum Gum exhaust repair paste. the fit between the two pipes was tight, I was surprised I was able to find two bits that slide together so tightly. Cleaned up the old bolts, wire brushed the threaded and they now run nicely so I shall re-use then with the newly sprayed clamps. When the joint turns up I shall refit it all. Next job after that the body work clean up.
At long last I have gotten on with the Volvo exhaust job. I’ve not been that keen to do it, as it’s not a nice job in my eyes. Last night I got the parts off, partly using the grinder and a slitting disk. Then using my new wire brush in the grinder to clean up the pipes and sprayed painted them with aluminium oxide paint for exhausts. I ordered a second hand exhaust pipe from a breaker on ebay, this is shown in the photo below with the pipes lying on the ground so that I could work out how I was going to make it work.
