4.5 manifolds for sale anyone?

[Wolvesboy]

Hi All,
My local private exhaust fabricator has tried to weld my cracked manifolds. He is having problems when the weld cools down and another crack appears (alongside or off at an angle)! He has tried various options - mig/ tig/ cold welds etc without success. He has thought of maybe heating them up in a large oven first? Any ideas anyone?
Otherwise another set needs to be bought - I would prefer a used set if possible and I am testing the water on here first.
Thanks.

Interesting.....
Just spoke to one of the reknowned TVR parts suppliers and the guy stated that a bloke based on The Isle of Man is fabricating exhausts for TVRs. He recommended him and a few of his other customers had bought from this source. I’ve searched Facebook without success. Anybody got any idea who this person is or his contact details?
Thanks

Yay - the welder/ fabricator managed to weld ‘em up! Apparently he had to have argon gas behind each weld so that it would work! Beats me but I don’t care it worked! He did recommend having an extra exhaust support mount just after the manifold joint as “they will crack again otherwise!”

Thanks for the help anyways folks. Back to refitting the sprayed rocker covers and now ceramic sprayed and wrapped exhausts. Just waiting for some new heat shield material and it should be a lot cooler inside the car.
