mk1 exhaust tailpipe repair

Post by stevenb »

I have a very small pin-hole sized hole (getting bigger) on my tailpipe. It's right on the weld where the tail pipe joins the backbox can.

Anyone know anyone who could do a small weld over the hole? Preferably anywhere in the home counties area (herts, beds, bucks etc) The backbox is in very good condition otherwise so I dont really want to have to get another just for this small hole.
The holts repair kit didnt work due to the akward location of the hole..... :(
Any help would be appreciated. :wink:

trouble is, it's only ever going to be a temporary repair. My last steel backbox look fine on the outside, they rust from the inside out, just like the rest of the car!

I really would recommend a stainless system.

It's on my wishlist at the mo mate but funds are tight.......might have to slap some more holts gum on it ](*,)

Another point:

Has anyone had a custom system....(ie downpipe back). Are the prices similar to Magnex, Janspeed, Mongoose systems?
