exhaust problem revisited

[Jay Darst]

Looks like that should work...

Apparently the ring slides on the pipe?

None of the flanges are removable on my exhaust pipes. I don't see
how that would have ever held?

my connections consisted of the following:

1.)cast iron exhaust manifold to steel exhaust pipe connected via
a "V" clamp with no removable flange or ring.

2.)steel exhaust pipe connected to cast iron turbo inlet "T" via
a "V" clamp with no removable flange or ring.

Both ends of the steel pipe are flanged to accomodate the "V" clamp.
Both cast iron pieces have a nice flange cast into them.

So, I don't understand the removable flange or ring. It would appear
to me that there has been a repair that was done using none standard
parts.

Looks like what you've done is a very good temporary repair, may
even last a long time ;~}
