ISO R16 *exhaust manifold*

[tayo_the.least]

Got me a gem of a 411! 
 

1967 Datsun RL411

(badged DATSUN1600 for about 4 months before they all started being badged SSS)
 

I just need a few things to get her buttoned up proper, the main one being an exhaust manifold to replace my cracked one.

I might look into repairing it and powder coating it for longevity.. if nothing turns up decently soon. 
 

thanks for your help!

The plastic coating melts at 150C or 350F and cured at 400 F.  Exhaust manifolds can reach 1,200 F so.... Get it ceramic coated.

Go to install new tires and realize everything is SAE..... Should have realized it when the motor had all SAE threads. :rofl:

check out red eyes thread 

I have no idea how to post link on my phone ..

 

Stans Headers in Auburn could probably do it also , but it ain’t gonna be Datsun priced .

We’ll get it sorted.. thanks for that thread. I wonder how well those welds held up for him.

Sorta holding up, it still leaks at the lower flange.

 

A better solution is to build a new manifold.

I would start with a stock flange and go from there with tubing and v-bands.

[MikeRL411]

I fabricated a replacement exhaust manifold gasket to the rest of the exhaust piping on my RL411 by cutting 2 [real, not later pretenders] 510 gaskets and piecing them togethed.  A dab of Muffler Mender to hold them in place while alignihg the mamifold flange and the rest of the exhaust and all is well.
