Chris Wilson Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I am having a discussion with our welder with regard to how the cast manifold of a stock TT has "bellows" welded into it. I am interested in the welding technology used to do this and would like some photos of the manifold showing the welded in bellows sections. I think Dude may have posted something ages ago, but I don't know what text it included so can't search. Anyone have links to any photos? Thanks.
