@@gottafixit Thanks for clarifying. I would like to drill out the old bolts, but there isn't enough space to attack the culprit on one side. I know there is a flange fix device that holds the two pieces together and I was considering that. I have had exhaust leaks at the junction because the flanges are not mating well. A gasket is supposed to be between both flanges. This is a project for another day when the weather is better.
@@lorettacaputo6997 Yes. We used the gasket between the flange and welded it all together. Those adapters can work wonders sometimes as well. Good luck!
I am trying to figure out how the front pipe flange was welded. Did the welds only happen in the mounting holes or around the entire flanges?
Welding was primarily through the mounting holes on this one. Essentially he just built new bolts via welding.
