Subject:      [WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED] Can we weld new exhaust manifold
              flanges on our heater boxes?

My 77 Westy heater box flanges (the triangular shaped ones) are corroding badly, yet the boxes themselves are in very good condition. I was wondering if I could just weld new triangular flanges on where the old ones are? I thought the thickness of plate, added to the old ones wouldn't be much of a consideration in clearance or muffler problems. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Courtney
