<VV> fixing exhaust log

[J R Read_HML]

Keith,

The clamp approach works JF and is easiest thing to do without removing the 
manifold.  I consider it a very reasonable and effective temporary fix.

If you have any torch skills, you can braze on a "new" ear.  This is easier 
to do with the manifold removed.  I've got two or three brazed ears at this 
time which have not re-broken in over 10 years.

The left side "log" is the longer one.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
