If so I can lend you one of my 'old' mild steel flanges to copy.
Stainless is an option since the jigs would be the same. Cost will obviously be higher. My guestimate is $80 for 304 but let me get back to you on an exact price.

If you are ok with sending me your flange that would be great. I was planning on using the CAD file I posted a link to in another thread and comparing that against my stock exhaust manifold to make sure it was dimensionally accurate. Personally I'd rather use your design.

This isn't really applicable to you Rallybob but I know a skilled welder who is hurting for work. He may be willing to make complete headers for cheap. I plan on having him do the welding on my header but if anyone else is interested I'll talk to him to see if he is willing to do more than just one.
