LsBeema 452 Report post Posted April 17, 2020 No2 pipe was abit to close to a head bolt and needed to shift it in order to get more clearance for pushing no 3 an 4 closer to the engine...and tidied that bend out. I want try to make it so that I can remove and install with the headers and subframe still attached to engine...they were abit wide.....or else has to be a 4 stage process..., subframe, mounting brakets to engine, headers then engine and box out..stuf that.. let me try. Got the left side about 12 - 13 mm closer...lets see on the right. Headers looked like they were about 20-25mm to wide.. Sourced out .8 mm mig wire. Getting the hang of these headers stage brrus..kinda like it...the hardest part of this build as I said. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted April 18, 2020 Much better...even with fitment..2 stage fitment...engine with headers and mounting plates on engine, then subframe...will try to bring no3 closer on the left so it can be a 1 stage process. ..if not..all good. Gear lever also fits bang on...all these measurements with strings really work well ? Planning exhaust setup. Will get cats in 2 weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But...I aint impressedwith those headers. I should have made another set before doing these..to get my procedure thought about and planned. Also...I need a proper welding station, the machines feed at lower end either goes too low or high..variable knob is stoofed, a metal table with adequate clamps, much better lighting and a few more hours with a gun in my hand. The end product..is..OK...I will do some proper mandrel bent ones in december. That photo shot says it all though..pleased with all the work up to this point. Electronics, cats fitted and rear welded without muffler..to start up in 2 weeks.. Edited April 26, 2020 by LsBeema 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
