Wills Wing Multi-Use Tubes

The attached picture shows what to do when your Catalytic Converter is stolen from your car.

I cut this piece of of tubing from an old cross bar. The fit could not have been any better. Maybe a few 1/1000 of an inch play.

It saved on having to call a tow truck to haul my Tacoma down to Toyota......

Ps. I guess the tube passed the liquidus temp. test.

Nice work... MacGyver! The Wills Boys will be proud. Never heard of a catalytic converter being stolen. But then I had never heard of a drive line being stolen either until the one on my work truck was.
Hope your getting some flying in too.

Catalytic converter theft
Due to the use of precious metals including platinum, which is worth up to $1,200 an ounce; palladium, which can fetch $320 an ounce; and rhodium, which can go for up to $6,000 an ounce on the market, catalytic converter theft is on the rise. (Note, however, that the loading of precious metals in a converter is low, and seldom over $50 per converter at 2007 spot prices). The problem is especially common among mid-90s to present Toyota sport-utility vehicles and trucks....


Well it's safe to say that

Well it's safe to say that the thieves aren't extracting precious metals...they'd need Dusty's help for that. :)

However, when I had to replace my cat converter last year because it made noise and then plugged up and reduced power, the bill was almost $1K.
