I already sent him mine...

I can beat any price I dont care. 2 Sets like $60 I would guess. I don't even know what the going rate is. I all I know is I can't get a sheet cut until I have a drawing.

I'm extremely interested in a set. $30 a set sounds good.

Alright looks like there is alot of interest in the flanges. So what I will do is quickly make a 10 guage flange for Brad to bolt to his head and confirm the fit then I will cut up a 4X8 sheet worth of flanges and sell em off.

[bszopi]

Ok, I just assumed 1 5/8" primaries, but Geoff thinks that's too big. So he posted a poll as too what size primaries everyone would prefer. Vote and I can change the drawing if need be...

[geoffinbc]

No No I never said it was too big. But headers for the S-10's on the market are all 1 1/2 so i figured that would be the going size. But really whatever you think is the best for the torque curve is the magic number

[tejohnson]

All the headers (Gen III) I have "seen" are 1 5/8 (at 14ga)... Are you going to do flanges for the Gen II heads as well?

[RacerX11]

I don't think 1-1/2" primaries will be large enough to clear the gen3 ports. I wouldn't do anything smaller than 1-5/8"

[geoffinbc]

Ok 1 5/8" it is. Should Brad draw the flanges with a round opening or D shaped like the heads?

I say round, that way they will fit 2.8/3.1/3X00. One flange for all.

When do you think these will be ready for sale? I have money in my hand right now.

I'll be grabbing a set as well as soon as I score a decent welder(got money just waiting for the right unit for the right price heh)... What materials will be availible.... mild steel and or SS???

[Ortie666]

You should run a TIG for this.. exhast looks beutiful with a tig.. I am makin a set of headers rite now too.. im gunna TIG the bitches.. make em look fancy, all else failes a good arc weld can be sexy looking too.. im not a fan of the mig tho, you cant get a weld with some charicter.. they look like a roll of fine wire.. instead of a roll of nickles(TIG)... Im going to make my headers with individual flanges tho.. like 6 of them.. not like a one peice..

[geoffinbc]

Get an Oxy/Fuel torch. Super cheep looks like TIG.

The verticle spacing for the bolts are different on the older generations unfortunately. I found this out the hard way...

I was unaware of this. I was lead to believe that the spacing was the same. Well, screw the genII. Everybody know its dieing out. :P

Only the Gen1 heads had a different bolt spacing. Gen2 and Gen3 are the same.
