Re:homemade Flange material

Beats me, How wide? from each port? I dont know what size you are trying to determine?

I would go

1/2 thick
and however long it needs to be. Just get a gasket as a templete to see the dimensions.

I got mine from geoff @ full-race.com for $60. Its 1/2" mild steel and looks perfect. Nothing like that pos the dropshop calls a head flange

If they turn out well, I'd be in for one as long as the price is reasonable.

Hmm...
Well that is a little more than I wanted to spend, but maybe he'll knock the price down a lil if I buy a few..

Thanks for the tip!

If you can get it, get 2 3/4". Thats what mine was anyway. Also, I ordered enough material to make 10 B-series flanges. Im quoting $60 shipped to anyone who wants one(gonna be awhile, the material is still in shipping(damn freight!)). There will only be 5 available as well.

Re:homemade Flange material

Dammit!
I want some D-series ones!

Does anyone want to help out for a Group-Buy on D-series head flanges?

Cheapturbo.com can make em, I just need to order 10 for them to write up a program for their CNC machine, after they do that, they'll have the program on file, and hopefully will be able to make them for whoever wants em after that...
