3B exhaust flange/slip ring question

[Zekester]

I've swapped the B in my '80 BJ40 for a 3B from an '85 BJ70. the B had a two bolt exhaust flange witha loose slip ring that bolted to the exhaust manifold, the 3B has a 3 bolt flange on the manifold, and Toyota tells me that the slip ring is actually part of the downpipe, welded solid, does anyone make a 3 bolt slip ring? do I have to buy the $125 3B downpipe and cut and weld the flange onto my exhaust? Called Midas etc, they acted like I was from another planet. Any help would be appreciated...

Just take it to Midas and see what they can work out for you.

Can't be that complex that it would need a special "toyota" part.
