1946 A model
That piece was broken off when someone must have hit the muffler. Both bolts (or nuts and bolt?) are pretty rusty on this 1946 A model. I'm hoping to put some heat/hammer taps on them and PBBlaster, wait a few days and repeat, then wait some more, and finally remove em. I dont have a torch but could get some Map gas- cant remember if I put the heat on the bolts/nuts or on the manifold. My idea is to just make a plate to cover that manifold with .25" steel and weld a short length of pipe on top so a muffler (or probably just an 18" pipe with the end turned down).
Thanks, George Penick
