More Shankle header stuff

["Stefano Iachella" <iachella@domain.elided>]

Hey cats,

The exhaust shop was able to weld up that crack
in the pipe. The cat had also suffered vibration cracks
that were welded. There was a mean vibration running
through the whole system at certain rpms. He put
in a flex joint just past the secondary pipe, in front
of the cat. It's all smooth now.

One final leak remains. It's the gaskets at the head/header
union. The bolts vibrated loose several times and the 
gaskets are somewhat burned. The exhaust guy didn't
have gaskets for Alfas and recommended copper ones.
Does any one know if copper gaskets are available for
Alfa 2L exhausts, or what are the best gaskets to use
for header applications?

Thanks again.

Stefano.
