RobSheffield Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I want to weld on a v band flange to my stainless BL manifold. Its SS321 so are there any issues... 1) Cutting it 2) Welding it? (guess it needs SS321 filler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Vband for the wastegate mounting right? There shouldn't be an issue, just make sure it's done by a qualified welder, there isn't too much weld applied and the inside smoothed afterwards and all should be fine. Preperation is the key, make sure the cuts are perfect and the two parts match up with no gaps, and that the surface is grease free. The guy that did the adaptions to my manifold (a very well know maker of race bike exhausts) always said the weld should be near invisible... I have some pics of his work is you want something to compare to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Its SS321 so are there any issues... 1) Cutting it 2) Welding it? (guess it needs SS321 filler) No issues Rob, I had to get v-band flange on my mid pipe adjusted, it was very straight to do; hacksaw off, weld back on, sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
