Title: exhaust manifold wanted
Post by: Tevel Jean-Jacques on February 25, 2019, 07:22:59 AM

Hello,

I'm looking for an exhaust manifold for my 1952 Manhattan. Mine is cracked all around and I tried to repair and re-braze it. It has worked for a while, but it seems the noise is coming back, and I'm not sure I will be able to rework it again if it fails, so I would like to find a replacement part before it fails and leave my car down.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a GREAT day.
JJ.

Never had much luck with brass.  It always failed eventually.  There are several excellent cast rods available that work well if the iron isn't too contaminated.  Used a lot of a product called Soft Flo which didn't require pre heating.  Don't remember who produced it.  Expensive.  Good luck.

Hello, sorry for my late answer (pretty busy for the moment)

I'm located in Belgium (6536). Don't know if it is the best/cheapest way of shipping stuff to Europe, but when I buy part with Ebay, they are usually shipped  va US postal. Might be a possibility.

Thanks a lot for your message and have a great day.
JJ.
