I grabbed 2 x exhaust flange gaskets ("donuts") and a heat riser flange gasket. Plus I took to opportunity to acquire another generic exhaust hanger to finalise the hanging of the exhaust in a neat and tidy fashion.
The heat riser gasket mount holes were ever so slightly different to what the Chev had, so a quick massage with a hole cutter and voila!...
A perfect fit.
Finally, Joe made a mod to the heat riser valve...
He cut off the shaft and extracted the butterfly, then drilled out the hole for the shaft and inserted a bolt/nut assembly to blank it off (see photo above).
This shot shows the complete bolt. The final install had the bold head ground down and exhaust cement to help seal.
Till next time,
John out.
