Title: BODDDDGE !!!
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 28 December 2009, 20:18:21

My EGR needed blanking before a trip tomorrow - due to the fact I've fitted 3.2 exhaust manifolds (Which don't have EGR)

Don't have any blanking plates here - nor have I anything to make one...

But, found an old 3.0 offside manifold in an old pile of junk.

Off with it's wiggly pipe.... and the exhaust manifold end blanked off using the rubber end of a valve grinding stick, held to the pipe with a jubilee clip.

The other end, connected to EGR as usual.

Simples !!!  ;D

It's actually fine as a permanent repair.. it's just not very visually pleasing..... so I will get the proper blanking plate  ;)

A superb interim fix, though  ;D

sounds good to me, hardly a bodge at all! As you say, apart form the looks, decent job!
