Exhaust Manifold

[Frank Gentges]

We has a work party and attempted a repair of the exhaust manifold on 
the AMRAD van by removing it and replacing it with a new one. Many 
helping hands turned out and the old one was cracked into two parts but 
was removed without breaking off any bolts. 

However, the new one did not have the same fitting to go to the exhaust 
pipe going to the muffler.  I took the manifold back to the auto store 
and they agree that it is not right.  After consultation with other 
stores etc etc they are ordering another manifold that is in stock in St 
Louis.  It is expected to take around 5 days to arrive. 

We will see if it will attach to the exhaust pipe when it arrives. 

Meantime, enjoy the new year.
