hatchsub Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I did it up near the actual valve but now that i have the motor out of the car i cut the pipe off and pulled the pipe thread from the actual spacer. I stuck a quarter in there and impacted the pipe thread nut back on. Will that quarter hold up to exhaust heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah - heat isn't an issue - the quarter should be fine. I usually just remove the threaded portion from the pipe, drop a fender washer in there and weld it in place. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivantruckman Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 cheap repair, only cost you a quarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 you can also use the knockouts from a electrical box i believe, even cheaper yet. I have a quarter in mine cause i know it can take the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
