Abstract

A method provides for manufacturing a flap carrier for an exhaust gas flap, especially for the exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine. The method includes providing a flap housing (50) and providing a stop ring (48). The stop ring (48) is inserted into the flap housing (50) in a position corresponding to an installed position. The stop ring (48) is fixed to the flap housing (50). Subsequently to fixing the stop ring (48) to the flap housing (50), at least one shaft opening (60, 62) for a pivot shaft carrying a flap diaphragm with at least one flap wing is inserted into the stop ring (48).
