I was so pleased that my steering wheel was right side up that I went for a nice drive in the country. I took a bump too fast and heard something crunch on the road. And then the car seemed to be lou

Sounds like you've got a crack in your exhaust manifold. Or something loose in that vicinity. Best wishes, Jeff in San Diego '67 RHD Spitfire Mk3 aka "Mrs. Jones" Jeff's Classic '67 Spitfire Mk3 site

Take a look at your muffler clamps. The threaded end sticking down might have made contacted the road while going over that bump. I know my car's muffler clamps do make contact with some speed bumps

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I hit a speed bump with the exhaust pipe, and suddenly the car made a lot more noise. Weak point in the Spit's exhaust system is the connection between the pip

Maybe broke a bolt at the exhaust flange? When the engine leans under load it opens up and gets louder? Or just loosened an old flange gasket for the same result... Luke 71 mkIV a

Following the suggestions from the spitfire list, I took a good look at the exhaust manifold. The flange at the end of the manifold (the one that bolts to the exhaust) is hanging on by a thread. And

Is this cast iron on your car? If it is, report back on how the welder attacks the repair and how well it works. I've never had much luck welding cast iron because of the nature of the material. When

In my welding class, the instructor showed us welding cast iron with oxy-fuel. Well-cleaned surfaces, cast iron (yes!) rod, thorough preheat of part to be welded (to 475F, as I recall) and some magic

I use Nickle Cadmium rods and arc weld grey cast iron. Clean the crack thoroughly. Grind down for a decent V chanel. Do a gradual preheat of the entire component up through several hundred degrees (v

I've seen this process and it's fascinating. Where can a guy buy a few stitches to try this on something old and cracked? -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng. Ottawa, Canada, tboicey@brit.ca ICQ #17432933 http:

http://www.locknstitch.com has one of the seemingly better types. Distinctly then the plugs of old. I have never personally used either method. Truthfully, I don't even know if it can be done by a la

I think it can be, but I have not tried. I've never even seen the process in person. Practical Classics did a long article on doing metal stitching showing every step of the process, and nothing look
