shanksportif Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Hey I've just bought a TTE backbox and it has a small patch of rust on the top of the box that feels tender and has a small hole in it (very small). Does anyone have any ideas as to how I should go about sorting this before I put it on my car? Cheers Quote
ecksjay Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 errr you could try to get it welded up, may just rust through again though mate, rust in exhausts is usually terminal (unless its just surface corrosion). Quote
paul w Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Bin it and get a stainless steel one,could weld a patch on it i suppose but like ecksjay says it's probably gonna come back. Quote
sr-starlet Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 the centre of my tte backbox has rusted and is rattling, either look for another one or a stainless steel system but they are expensive and reasonably hard to come by. Quote
scutch0 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 take it to a exhaust place mate and get them to patch it.it will probably see you thru about 6-8 months.it'll probably cost you 20 30 quid. Quote
shanksportif Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 Hmm it is only a very small patch - and the rest of the box is in relatively good condition. Nothing I could treat it with or anything - welding the only option? Quote
shanksportif Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 Some where like kwik-fit scutch? Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 wouldnt give anything of mine to kwik-fit gimps, they will end up burning a hole through it lolthats if theyve even advanced enough to have learnt how to weld i only thought they could change wheels meow! Quote
scutch0 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 anywhere that has experience in welding. a decent tyre and exhaust place.i wouldnt try kwick fit either to be honest! Quote
