$900 for factory part? Why can’t a local muffler guy fab something up?

In the p80 forum there is a great link to a Utah firm making pre fabbed flanges. Weld or band clamp them in. Ezpz

Got the battery light in my S60 today. Looks like I’m replacing the alternator soon. It went off when I restarted the car.

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

Hobart can meat your needs but it's quite a bit of dough.

Nice, but the roof rack? "His" gets to do all the heavy lifting

Can it be done ?
total savings $900, told my wife I'll split it with you. Write me a check for 450.
Consider welding a nut on top of the flange and grinding it to width?

plan is to use the rebuilt ear to mount the nut and bolt, then weld the nut in placeMoVolvos wrote: 26 Sep 2022, 11:20.jonesg wrote: 25 Sep 2022, 14:56 one of the ears on my muffler flange has rusted away, wondered if I can build it back with just weld bead and a grinder.

I don’t know why abscate keeps telling us to replace pinch bolts. I think it’s fake news, hogwash…..
