Help. Need a mobile welder.

[Shaun 4x4]

Cheers for the replays guy. Especially you guy offering to come from over east. Lol

Yer I've never needed a welder until today. Plus Ive never welded before. Lol

A hole in the exhaust for a week will do no harm. As a boilermaker for a small fiddely job you can expect 60 to 100 an hr plus consumables minimum 4 hr charge plus Saturday 1.5x rate and Sunday 2 x rate.

I agree with macca mate, if you can get away with not driving the car tomorrow and first thing Monday drive straight to a shop and get it done.

providing the hole isn't directly pointing towards anything of course.

When I did my turbo I drove around for about 20 minutes with just the dump pipe pointing downwards, no connection to exhaust to try out the new turbo and all was well.

Sounded like a beast too...lol

I bet it did. I remember taking the exhaust pipes of my VZ maloo for some loud fun.

I would like to take it in Monday but I have work. Won't be free again till next Saturday.
Don't wont to drive the car all week with a hole in the pipe

It isn't the worst thing in the world, and at $160 it won't break the bank....

You'll be all fixed in no time at all, and hopefully you can forget all about it after that.

This is true.

Ill just bee happy to see my new gauges all working properly

I did the same thing when I tried to tap the EGT sender in. I put a stainless hose clamp around the hole and drove it to the local exhaust shop first thing on the Monday morning. He welded the bung on in about 20mins, charged me $40, I threw the heat shield back on and I got to work only slightly late.

Well it's all done now. Bit pricey but I am happy with the job and now I can finish my install

[threedogs]

You're the only one it needs to please, so now its all done.
ONE LESS THING
