It's cast steel so not easiest of jobs to do for someone who isn't experienced and has the proper gear. Buy another manifold, much quicker and easier.

I fixed my crack (ooh err) buy drilling a small hole each end of each crack (I had about 8 as the downpipe consistantly hits the floor.  :laugh:


Put the welder on full and had some special rods that someone on here advised and went for it. Ground the crack lengthways with a diamond cut of disc and then penetrated and welded hard then did one either side. Been absolutely fine!
