Thanks again Gents....just trying to work on it whenever I can.
I do Have an account with Columbia River but they dont have the wide radius bends, I tried rolling them at the shop and just cant get the tube to go tight enough without kinking, I also have a bender, but it wont do thinwall so I will have to keep looking.
The only place I could find the 4.5" radius was Burns, and those were the $48 pipes.
I used to have a good relationship with Stahl headers in York PA but they called it quits a couple of months ago, and they used to sell what they called a "box of mistakes"...plenty in there to do more than a set of headers.
I just shipped a 6 month project that was really gobbling up a lot of shop space and we are re-arranging things around now so I anticipate some good progress in the coming weeks.
Thanks again to all you guys for the kind words and encouragement...I really enjoy the engineering/building part, and I try to do a little each day and if I have time make some leaps on a Saturday.
Cheers
Phil
