Hi folks

Now i recently purchased a new exhaust manifold on ebay which turned out to be slightly wrong, the one i currently have has a crack in it...ive enquired about a weld and ive been told it can be done and ive been qouted a good price. 80% cheaper than a new manifold ... any experience of this as i know its a cast iron weld and in the past had alot of bad rep

 

It can be done if correct welding consumible is used, enough preheat, and slow cooldown (oven). Check youtube videos on welding cast iron.

Have you looked for a used part? This may be cheapest option.

good luck

 

In the uk my car is VERY rare. after searching for a while i found only one ..which turned out to be wrong. so this is now my only option

 

Yes the weld will work & hold. I've had many crack manifold weld before.
