My 1972 original A-4 (in a Morgan 30) leaking before muffler (temp. patches with hose clamps got us through summer). A mechanic is assisting--photo attached- concerns: 1) manifold exit appears a 1.25" iron nipple screwed in- so, many questions on its removal (after old pipe is cut from muffler & manifold is unbolted from the block). Pictures we see of A-4's exhaust systems appear to show a removable flange with 2 bolts into the manifold (like my Palmer engines); but on mine, just a very corroded nipple. The mechanic is expecting to need a new exhaust manifold. (?)
2) possible to purchase a strong-enough, Stainless-steel 1.25" dia. flex. hose to replace this Exh. piping from Manifold to muffler (~5.75" long and 2.25" of offset)?
Possible useful info: this A-4 was overhauled by Moyer M.Inc. in 2005 (owned then by Stuart Tuller; S/V= Nuage; Rhode River)
