I have a dilemma, I have acquired an exhaust off a mate, I intend on fitting it to my bike but the link pipe is the wrong size and shape.
So, I'm going to be cutting my old link pipe and the new link pipe to make a correct combination.
My only issue is the both are stainless steel and the only welding gear I have access to is only suitable for carbon steel.
Would anyone be so kind to help me out and welding it up? I cant offer a great deal but I can slip you a bit of cash and a crate of beer to the gentleman who might be able to help me.
Thanks in advance!

The amount of time and work it will take to do it and make it look good you might as well just take it to kev Pickering exhausts a link pipe it's a very reasonable priced item from him

Kev Pickering normally charges £20-£30 for such a job, obviously it'll depend on how many cuts and welds it takes, but give him a bell and ask yourself. His welding is Megga neat. Details in the sponsors area

Its not that far out and doesn't need to look perfect, one cut should do it.
The only issue I have with someone doing all the work is I can't get the bike to anywhere to get it to fit up properly.
I used to be a fabricator so its not like I'm going in blind. I'd have welded it myself if I had the gear.
Reckon he'll do just the welding if I get all the cuts done and marked up so they're welded together at the right place?
