Type 44 Exhaust Flange Replacment.

[Radek]

Jim;

You need a split flange, available at most auto parts stores or muffler 
shops.  The trick is to find one that will be the right size (don't trust 
the catalogues).  Also, some are made of sheet metal and rust quickly, some 
are made of cast iron and last longer.

I've gone through the same thing for my dearly departed 90Q this winter. 
Actually, I have a nearly new cast iron flange that might fit, contact me 
off list if interested.
Cheers.

Radek.
