Having seen the pictures of the car - I think it's the least of your worries! Never known a manifold to rust through.

No harm in being thorough, though

Thanks for posting the link, jock - i think this might be the same technique which packedup recommended a while back?

B&Q sell large plastic tubs with handles. They would certainly take an exhaust manifold. They're usually in the building section.

this can also be done by placing aluminium foil in the tank (or indeed any aluminium) along with the soda rather than using electricity
