Re: Broken pre-heat pipe

Hi Julian,
Many thanks for the offer. As you can tell from the pictures, I have had to put a slight bend in my new piece of pipe and that means I have tack weld the missing bit back in place and keep checking the heat hasn't warped things so the manifold doesn't fit!
So it keeps coming off, having a tack weld put on, then back on the engine to check it still fits - can't really do that, doing the welding at your place and I can't drive the Haf up there in the state it is currently in!!
It really isn't a big deal, I'll wait till next weekend and get some more gas on Saturday, finish the job Saturday / Sunday. It's purely because SPA Welding don't open on the Saturday of a bank holiday weekend because they go visiting or something....
