Hooligan!!
I just love a burnout... I would say I’m sorry but pinging it off the red line makes me feel like I’m 12
Does anyone know where I can locally (Swansea) pay someone to put my manifolds on a surface grinder for some beer tokens?
I bought a surface sander but it’s barely making a dent in the stainless and it would be much easier to have a machine do it properly.
failing that - someone with a milling machine to face off both flanges?
in other news ive been playing with the ac on the tig.
Not a bad effort I feel

A good effort I'd say, great work
I still regularly wheelspin up the drive, wife always says "Wish you'd stop doing that",kids think it's funny and that's enough
Misspent youth I guess.
Anyone local with a machine shop will tackle it if there interested, LAB in Aztec business centre, maybe Brandon in Swansea engines or even huxtables out at birchgrove , I've heard they like a challenge
I bother Charlie far too much considering I live around the corner lol.
I was hoping for more of a cash in hand favour rather than taking it to an actual place but if I have to I will.
also...
I’ve been welding again...

Do you mean the square flange where the four headers collect to?
i mean both that and the flange that bolts to the engine.
the collector one is easier for me to sort in the linisher but the engine side is too big

The collector flange for my GT30R was bowed like a banana after welding the four pipes to it. I put it in a vice and filed it flat in about 20 minutes.

My wife's from next to swansea, she loves your accent, when I'm indulging, 'tidy'.
yeah I could linish the small One like I said even though I’m worried about the surface finish a little. It’s also stainless so not likely to be that easy lol
ha I may throw a “tidy” in the next episode

Stainless files just fine. It's not as hard as people think. I used a brass wire brush to clear the pins and kept swapping direction. You can see the low points shrinking to nothing then just wrap the file in emery to finish. It's been running like that without a gasket for more than 12 years now.
