Re: [MBZ] 747

Yup. The cause of the accident is fairly complex though. The principle cause, although this is not widely addressed, is that air traffic control at SF is notorious for giving final landing authorization long after the aircraft is past the initial point in the glide slope. It's bad enough

Re: [MBZ] 240D exhaust repair

You have to dissect the rotted pipe stub out of the muffler, insert a new pipe into the hole in the side of the muffler and weld the new pipe to the sheet metal on the muffler. Since the steel is thicker on the pipe, you have to direct the mig nozzle more towards the pipe and weave the puddle

Re: [MBZ] 240D exhaust repair

I dont' thing there is 2 " of pipe off the muffler.  I think the only thing that MIGHT work is to have a connector section that is smaller and fits up inside the muffler.  At the end of the day it probably needs a new muffler.  Which it being a 1 year only sort of deal is $300+ iirc. On

Make gussets. weld to muffler and pipe over your welds. (or griind off the welds for the gussets, and reweld with the gussets.) Probably need 4 gussets. If there is at least 2" of pipe in front of the muffler, grind off the welds, and use the tin can hose clamp bandaid. It is cracking

I need to do something about the exhaust on my 95 e300. It started breaking off close to where the pipe runs into the rear muffler. I welded it up, rather poorly probably as it was my first time. It lasted a couple of weeks then started breaking loose again. I welded it some more but it
