Hi Bill,
Being in the process of getting a local muffler shop to build an exhaust
pipe for my 74 Spit, I can say that they did find a flange they'd cut off
some other piece if pipe. They also had the triangular gasket.
But getting their pipe to fit my spit is a whole other story - we'll see
how it continues on Wednesday.
Cheers, Fred
