Best way to fix this

hondalrd · Dec 11, 2018

Hey guys. I am curious if these can be welded or if JB weld would work better ? It’s off a 16 Axys and I am guessing it is cast aluminum? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated

Ah that ol' Polaris glue.

Somebody will come up with something for you.

What does Polaris glue have to do with the broke cast aluminum piece????

Devcon aluminum putty or JB Weld.

I doubt you will glue or weld that to hold. It looks like it is for the muffler spring, might be better off to rivet an eyelet onto that piece or beside it??

Make an eyelette out if heavy wire to hold the spring, wrap it around the bottom of that post? Should be alright, just an idea either way..

What Dazzler said .
Drill another hole further in and run a ring through it to hook spring.

That's my vote too.
Mechanical wire for the win.

Drilling into cast?

Drill out the large head rivet, make a nice metal tab and rivet on. The tab can be long enough to maintain proper tension on the exhaust. Don't haywire it together, make it look good and be functional.

What are we a bunch of hacks......lol

There is actually a tab that broke off the has a bolt hole on it for the front bumper. Not just for the exhaust spring...

It can be welded. But if I were pulling it apart to weld it I would just replace it. Welding would burn the glue and carbon pipe not to mention to tight for a guy to get in there to do a proper job. If you take it apart and want to try to weld and are near Leduc I will weld for cheap dam near free.

I hit a tree and broke the one on the other side with all the ground wires. Actually it didn't break until we started booting on the bumper to make it straighter. Anyway, l stuck my aluminum mig gun in there and a couple zaps later it was solid. I figured l had nothing to lose. FYI the Assault, all aluminum, one is way cheaper if you have to replace.

My take was the plastic rivet that looked like it broke loose.

Probably true but I actually thought it was that plastic rivet that was the problem. Carry on.
