How to make a collector/merger.
After seeing a couple of post asking how to do so and end up with replies such as "It's a secret how to make them things, but we can sell you one" replies from a guy representing Burnstainlesssteel, I felt intrigued to do this. I'm fairly new to CAD but manage to whip this up. I'm sure lot of you guys already know this but this is just for ---- and giggles.
Here is your tube to start with.
Then simply cut it like this :|
This is what it looks like from the front.
Then make the same cut on the front side, if the tube was square, this two cut would be perpendicular to each other in a way :|
It should look like this after all the cutting.
Top view after all the cut section are joined.
Bottow view.
I roughly put it together so you would get an idea what it looks like.
There you go, have fun.

Re:How to make a collector/merger.
easy to use ?
its not as easy as working with paint or anything like that. i would compare it to working with photoshop for the first time, with no help what so ever. they have tutorials and ----, so if you sit down with it for a long period of time, you could come up with some decent ----.
i was gonna become the next benen. tow hooks, rad. supports, throttle cable linkage, things like that.

Re:How to make a collector/merger.
band saw, -hell, pretty much any saw would do it. then grind down the edges to perfection, kinda like a peice of wood. you cut it about 1/8 away from where you want the cut to be, then sand/grind it down to perfection.
