Paul, Mine cracked just a few weeks ago, took it off and had it rewelded by a local welder, main cracks were around the lambda sensor. He charged me a mere 10 pounds and the welds look a lot stronger than standard, if it lasts longer than the last one just 11K miles then I will be more than happy.

I would certainly consider it if you have an issue with time!!

Thought that webbing was standard on the m400 part?

Dear All,
Thanks, Plans managed to weld them in situ, excellent service, back up and running 30 minutes later!

We are certainly going to strengthen them.

You need to be carefull - I have new manifolds know (the strengthened ones) but when Ray West was removing the old ones a fairnumber of the bolts snapped.
