Yeah that's correct. As the pipe has many slight curves in it I don't think the flexi has been welded in the "correct rotation" as it seemed to me that if it was rotated around just slightly more it'd have lined up ok. The welding looked spot on though. As I work with welders everyday you get an idea of a good / bad weld. Quite possibly I just had someone who wasn't concentrating when they welded I it together. Just my luck though for 2 bolts to sheer off on my original downpipe.
