Ah, you got the parts in that Mike recommended? 
Well yes, but I ended up not using them. When I cut the bolts off with a cutoff wheel and punched them out of the front flange, there was quite a bit of the front flange left and the donut gasket actually looked very good. Best one I have seen on a ranger. SO I used a 2 piece clamp for the back flange clamp (which was totally rotted and wasted), ground the spot welds off meant to keep the flange clamp from dancing back on the pipe during assembly at the factory and bolted it on. I don't have pictures it was too dark even in the shop I had no light under the truck was using a flashlight.


I trust I will eventually use the Mike repair method on another Ranger and I have the parts now.

But here is the picture of the clamp I used, I have only seen these at auto zone and they are only 5 bucks. I've had this in my box for years.
