Exhaust manifold repair required

[Littlewood]

Hi, I have a problem with a manifold for a studebaker, I cannot source a new one so need to go down the road of repair. The broken lug is marked with a yellow circle, my question can this be repaired? I have the piece that broke off?

Many thanks

That looks like a cast iron manifold, there are tutorials on Lincoln website about these jobs.

It is Cast Iron, im not that proficient to try repairing this myself, is there anyone who repairs cast iron?

With cast iron, its probably best to get it professionally repaired, they'll normally preheat it, and then stick weld.

Having said that though, Stude manifolds are available, unless its something rare.

They will probably re-make the whole lug and re-drill, simple stick job, shouldnt cost more than 20 quid.
