    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fixing Small Hole In Muffler

I have a small (dime size) hole developing in the bottom of one of my mufflers. What is the best way to fix this hole? I have heard that JB Weld will do it but I have never tried it. Does anyone know the best method?
Thanks, Terry South
 
Cut a piece of steel as a patch and have it brazed on rather than have it electric welded on. This should solve the problem
 
Re: Fixing Small Hole In Muffler

I've used JB Weld for about everything, but have not had satisfactory results using it on exhaust systems, especially motorcycles. Try what Dinks Wife said.

I had a much larger hole (3" x 4") repaired by a professional welding shop using a mig or tig welder. They did a nice clean job; no excess weld / slag dripping off anywhere. He charged $25 for the job.

There are also 'filler rods' that can braise fill this size hole...if you can find the right torch.
