Hi Gert,

I had a problem with the tail pipe coming loose no matter how tight I made
the clamp. I have a TIG welder but I didn't want to weld on the aircraft due
to the high frequency voltage that is part of the welding current. My
concern was that it could damage my avionics.

I solved the problem by drilling a small hole in the pipe under where the
camp goes and putting a stainless steel pin. The pin had flange on it to
keep it in place.

If you do want to weld it my recommendation would be to remove the muffler,
which is a bit of pain to do.

Hope this helps - Paul
