Richard, don't give me any of that...'and the black one is due for selling once...', I know you'll find another you just can't resist.
40 mph, terrible, they did that to to the road under the viaduct at WGC and put up speed cameras!!! Cheange the speed limit without any large signs then cameras, its a money swindling disgrace! Mmmm, Hoddesdon might be me cos I sometimes park one of them in Wormley (garaged), if she's on the high Road that is. Anyway, got me form for Cadwell, sending it off tomorra, anyone know if there are still places? Sunderland in the play-offs. (As if anyone might be interested) |

Richard,
MIG welding is only the principle. You can weld Mild steel, Stainless Steel or even Aluminium with a MIG set. Just make sure you use the correct wire and gas. You can also weld Stainless Steel with Mild Steel wire (with poor result) and vice versa.Same applies to TIG. Edited by UweM3 |

Uwe, Have checked as you suggested with a magnet and no bite on the centre section except for the centre bands around the cat - however still not sure that it is stainless steel for when the pipe started splitting last year along the front X? we managed to weld this up with a mig. Spoke to someone today who thought it was some kind of alloy mix (might be this that provides some flexibility) that BMW use what do you think? Potsy a little exageration and the black one is due for selling once the red one has completed its mini restoration, was not including the carcooned number. But my secretary keeps mentioning one that is flying around locally passing her house in Hoddesdon at some speed and another with a foreign reg no. Mind you I've never seen one around here being driven sedately!!!! just hope the local police do not take it to be the same driver. Pity I have to say that the old Hertford - Stevenage road has just had the limit reduced to 40 (near Tree Heritage) used to be a good run....... |

I should think so. You can`t release a product on the market largely untested (long term) and expect NOT to cover costs to those owner that have problems . Well, not a good company anyway |

I guess it depends on how Milltek are feeling. Given that we are a pretty large group I would hope that they will be reasonable. It is reassuring to hear they treated Simon well.
Dale, I have had mine since November last year. |

So, can we summarise this thread by saying that, if a single skinned Milltek owner has the problem discussed within this thread, that they will be suplied with a double skinned part? Pikey |

I carefully slid my camera under the car with the timer set and then waited for the photo to be taken. No need to scrabble around on my back. Mind you I did need to do it twice because the first time the flash went off and all i got was a nice shiny picture with no chance of reading the details. |
