These had to be routed under both the rollbar backstay and the rollbar diagonal brace. As well as this of course, I was trying to keep all the primaries equal length and as short as possible while at the same time being able to easily get at the spark plugs, header bolts, head studs and also be able to get the rocker covers off. I also wanted a rotational firing order in the collectors. A heap of conflicting requirements! That's why the headers are the strange shapes they are as I managed to satisfy all the criteria.
I have also incorporated AR features in the pipes. Many thanks to Jac Mac for technical input.
The backstay diagonal brace with the green tape on has not yet been finally welded in place. My inlet manifold has gone astray in the shipping and I need to fit that first to make sure there is sufficient clearance.
Anyway that's the headers done, heaps to show for not all that much work. Quite satisfying really. Mufflers yet to build
