Damaged exhaust can - Help

[GR81]

The previous owner of my bike low-sided it at some stage and the can has been damaged. (see pic)
Although the can itself is fine, the piece of metal strapping that seals it off on one end is damaged and creates a small leak.

Does anyone know who might be able to repair this for me.
Someone in Auckland, preferably on the North Shore, but not necessarily.

Any help would be much appreciated.

any metalwork place should be able to make up a thing strip of metal, and rivit it back together

i am about to do something simlar to my yoshi pipe, and repack the insides while at it

Maybe you could use a stainless hose clamp on it. Would look neater and possibly cost less. Try anzor fasteners. 8 arrenway drive, albany.

would still need to patch the holes up from the current rivets.
could be an option tho, thanks.

cost less than a thin bit of stainless steel, or allumin, and a few rivits?

[Buster]

Possibly & $55 per hour.

your be lucky if it took 30 mins to cut some metal up and then put 7-8 rivits.

May need to use marine rivets (the heads are sealed on them)

Go to any half decent sheetmetal place and they'll cut you a strip of stainless for fark all, wrap it around the can and ya can mark the rivet holes. I use monnel rivets (stainless, farkin tough, better have a good riveter).Job done :niceone:

need to find a rivet gun fullstop! haha

That can aint damaged it just has a couple of loose bits.

Damaged is when its folded in half after backing into something at speed.

I would suggest using some silicon sealant when you reassemble it as it works suprisingly well. Besides if you repack it as well there should be very little pressure there anyway.

The perf tube should be wrapped in stainless steel wool then packed with suitable baflling shite (I use fiberglass chopped strand matting and it seems to last ok.

Hey. My can is scraped to hell from where the previous owner dropped it. Apparently you can get new stainless outer sleeves put on damaged mufflers.
Can anyone tell me where i can get this done in the Auckland, preferably Franklin, area? And how much Id be looking at. Cheers

May need to use marine rivets (the heads are sealed on them) Good point though i always use a sealer anyway as have had backfiring/leakage from end caps.Someone mentioned steel wool round baffles,i tried it once with packing and on the way to the march hare called in to a boozer on the way to when after grabbing a pint and walking outside find 3 blokes peering down my righthand can watching it glowing,steel wool was red hot,took can to bits awhile later to find it had turned to shit completly.Waste of time and no point if good quality packing is used.
