Replacing the header pipe on my 1980 245DL, the bracket that supports the header pipe from the bellhousing is the original and is very rusty. The new pipe has a threaded hole - I need to get the old bolt out of the bracket and use a new one. The bracket seems sturdy (the upper part definitely is), but is very rusted and I'll have to take it to a machine shop to get the old bolt out. Is that my best option - I can't find a replacement for the lower half of the bracket (attaches to the upper part with two bolts) for sale and I haven't seen a 240 in the local junkyards for probably 5 years (never were many RWD Volvos here and they've all rusted and been crushed for scrap). Is there a source to buy the lower half of the bracket?
