| Subject: | Rotax 912 exhaust pipe repair |
The co-pilot side rear exhaust pipe cracked on me this weekend. I called a few
shops to have it repaired (overhauled), but it seems none of them work on the
smaller diameter piping. Rotax is 1 1/4 inch?
The lead time for a new replacement from the factory (Diamond) is about 10 weeks.
I looked thru the Rotax parts manual and saw their are 2 different pipes and
some kits. Mine is stainless steel. How are 912 owners fabricating their
exhausts? What shops will do this.
thanks for any info.
John

I just had Precision Welding in Sebring weld new ends (that got into the
heads) onto my existing exhaust pipes for a Kitfox IV with early 912.
Lockwood apparently has used them for this specific type of job. And the
lady welder said she had done "millions" of these end replacements. The
ends were Rotax parts from Lockwood. Not sure about fabrication of new
exhaust systems.

Keep LQQKing John:
All you need is a Welding Shop that can do Thin Wall Stainless Steel.
AND ask them to put a PATCH over the crack. Do not let them just weld the
crack. Weld the crack and Patch for strength.

Thanks for the info. The crack in this case cut the pipe into 2 pieces. It does
look like another section of pipe could be put over it and then welded if thats
how they would do it.
