A few years ago a friend of mine in Germany smashed his TR4A cast iron exhaust manifold into three pieces (don't ask....buying Champagne & a low exhaust and a gate stop were involved!)....my TVR scraped over it without damage! I found him a replacement in the UK, but he decided to have the original repaired as well. A man near Dusseldorf (I think) did it & it involved it sitting in a charcoal fed furnace for over 24 hours. The company did a lot of work repairing large capacity single & twin cylinder antique diesel tractor blocks...very successfully it appeared. If interested I can find out more details. Is the broken bit around?
