Of course the headers did not match the exhaust ports . .
Picked up some 5"x 3/8" plate to build header flanges for the 418.
I need a bit more practice with the plasma and to lose maybe 40yrs in age. A bit on the shaky side. Its interesting how much difference there is if I am going left or right or towards me or away.
If it were not for the operator the cuts would have been nice.
My initial start cuts..
Ended up using the plasma to cut the flanges off headers. The easy way would have been to just use the band saw but was worried about losing that near 1/4" of pipe. Add the new 3/8" flanges and felt it would have been too much.
Very difficult to get the plasma in there to make a proper cut . .
The new flange. A bit shaky but worked out well.
