jetmorgan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just had delivered a new rear section of exhaust for my 1990 Defender 110 (part ESR359) and to save a bit of money I want to fit it myself rather than give it to my local garage. Never having fitted any part of exhaust pipe myself do I need to have any gasket between the join of the rear and center sections? or is it just safe to use some of the exhaust sealing putty (Dum dum or whatever it's called) I have read on a VW car website about painting the exhaust to make it last longer...as mine is a standard steel Britpart part is painting it an option and any ideas what sort of paint?

western Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 exhaust joint paste will do fine, wouldn't bother painting it as the paint will burn off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I did not use anything to seal. I did replace the rubber as I had to cut mine off. They rot from the inside out either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
