I'm new guy to Rocket and couple problems showing up on my first annual: 



   

1. Warped flange on the aft left section of the cylinder #6 exhaust pipe -- causing exhaust leak.  

   

It’s the original pipe, believe John Harmon’s early design (have asked him about it) – bad section is on right side of attached photo.  

   

Anybody know if / how I can get replacement part, or maybe a great welder who could remove / replace the flange?  Other ideas?  

   

   

2. Original fiberglass 15” dia. Spinner’s prop hub front plate is damaged; it’s 10 5/8” dia., attached inside spinner with four screws and to Hartzell prop hub with four bolts.  Attaching photo.  Ideas for who to contact for a replacement?   

   

Thanks,

Tim, I removed my original exhaust and installed a Larry Vetterman system, much improved and worth every penny.He may also be able to help with repair,,although once removed my old system had cracks I couldn't see until off airplane. Replacing improved performance as well. 

 Spinner bulkhead, try aircraft spruce. FYI. A Cessna 310 spinner will R&R perfectly.
