mmmmmmm....two problems now.....temp repair to get you to work and long term repair........first one has got to be a bodge :o ......iam thinking exhaust sealent and jamming a wedge of some sort between the broken stud and the mounting hole in the exhaust flange.....do the two outer pipes up first,tight (with sealent on the middle two pots) this will hold everything at the correct angle and as the downpipes are quite rigid you will get some sort of seal on the middle two......then wedge the flange on the two broken studs and tighten the good stud just enough for a snug fit,not enough to bend the flange,let the two outer pipes and the sealent do the work and the nut and wedge just hold things in place.......
or............take the two gaskets out of pots 1+4 and use two gaskets in pots 2+3 with the sealent in pots 1+4 this time.....
long term repair.drill the broken studs out and replace with new stainless studs...what i can see in your pictures the two broken studs are the two in the middle which are easy to get too...frame downtubes get in the way of studs 3+6........not a hard job if you`ve dont it before......
anyone in harrys area who could give a hand ?
