Kinja'd!!!

Exhaust hole patch (“Quicksteel” AKA grey playdoh that smells like a portapotty) on the Q, and an investigation of the track bar mounting bracket on the XJ project. It was toast and causing a click in the steering.

Kinja'd!!!

I wire brushed the area and artfully smooshed the entire tube of epoxy around and over a narrow hole that had made it halfway around the pipe. We’ll see what happens. This could be like the time we tried this canvas dipped in goop product that you wrap around an exhaust leak. It never hardened and dripped hot glue all over the place...

That’s about the best description of Quiksteel I’ve ever heard.

I should have done it today, however this whole last week drained all of my energy. I’ll deal with the burble of half my exhaust missing.
