1) Bolted it under way too much tension (from it being warped)
2) Not enough even heat welding it. You warped it
3) You didn't get enough heat & penitration when you welded it
4) Very poor quality flange material

Complex had a flange he welded on yuriy's up-pipe crumble pretty similar. I think I remember they blamed it on the cheapass material from the ebay flange. He welded on a weir flange I had lying around and said the welding difference was night and day. Ask him?

the flange is impregnated with impurities and oily wop grease.


it was like trying to weld aluminum with fluxcore.

tacotaco sells those flanges on ebay


dont buy them again, cheapass.

if you had bought your flange from me in the first place you probably would have saved $ even on the ebay priced flange.

ATP sells these for $23????? man, you must have $ to throw away, i sell mine for $10.

But that is Canadian funds, give it another month or two and they will probably cost us in the states $30 :-[
