Well, to self-campaign: I have discovered that my JB Weld is holding my pipe to the body of my cylidrical muffler (despite rust). I applied it to the ends of the pipe first, then shoved it in, then liberally applied it around the diameter. Then used two beer cans, crushed to the correct height, to prop up the pipe as it dried for about a day.
Nice and quiet today. JB Weld, I think, is 2.xx dollars. Brian On 10/30/06, archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Shouldn't you first ask for submissions of the most jalopical improvements to Mercedes and then take a vote? I've heard descriptions of some on this group which would make any innovative mechanic proud. Larry Ts Liquid Nails project will no doubt be among the top contenders because of its simplicity and the use of those ancient standbys of carpentry; liquid though they may be.
