Re: MKII Headers: My 2006 Summer Project

Adam,

I stick by my previous scholarly comments. Phil hit the nail on the head about your repeatability. Your ability to actually manufacture sets of headers is awesome!

A little food for though for next time you're welding. I've only done small Ti parts but used a purge box instead of a cabinet. The idea is the same but visibility and dexterity are very good when weldling. It's an open-top stainless box (could be anything conductive really) which is flooded with N2 or some other inert while you weld. Still have a flow through the torch hood and you can't flail your arms or hands around while welding but it was very effective.

Actually as I sit here proofreading before I post, it dawns on me that you're probably familiar with this technique already. I'll submit the post anyway just in case though.

Keep up the good work!

Chris
