Agnelli
True Classic
128 wagon came with a 4-1 manifold in to 2" muffler shop exhaust. Prior owner's mechanic @ Wine Country Motors swapped out the 4-2 manifold and downpipe due to repeated gasket failure at the manifold exit to downpipe entry.
Project here is to revert to 4-2 stock 1974 manifold (now installed), Supersprint exhaust center section, an Ansa rear / resonator. All that came in the parts stash with the car. But the one key missing element is the aforementioned bracket. Unobtanium. An opportunity to improve the stability of that gasket point.
Sourced really nice 1" mild steel box tubing from eBay.
Highly recommend the eBay source: Leoni Steel in SoCal. Very nice material. Drilled, Dremeled, Sawzalled after a cardboard template. The stock bracket is flat, hoping this boxed solution will aid in securing the downpipe from exhaust system flexing.
