OK Bill - where do I sent it, it's AutoCAD
2004.
You too Buly.
Just check that the exhaust port is the size you
want it. I made mine to fit the Cosmo, which is larger than normal exhaust ports
at 2"- you may wish to change that size, however from discussion with Bill
Jepson, he suggests that the exit is better to be a bit larger than a bit too
small. I had it cut from 6mm SS.
Just to make things difficult the bolt holes are
different from port centre, and it took me ages to get this right. I must have
cut a dozen templates to get it right, it's not as if you can mark it from the
inside.
Happy to help - always!

George,
I would be interested in the drawing, and
apparently so would Buly.
Mine were made off of a pattern that Kevin made,
and they are beefier than necessary, but probably won't warp too bad
either.

Bill.
I wasn't sure that you were talking
about exhaust flanges - I have a drawing on those that would have saved
you some time. It took me ages to get the exit hole accurate and mine
aren't as big as yours, are you sure you made them big enough- just
ribbing ya!.
I had mine water jet cut (cheapest quote)
$15-00 each, however the water jet does taper a little on thicker material
and I made the hole just a tad smaller and trimmed it in the lathe.
I will send you the drawings if you need
them!

Here are two.

Bill - what sort of flanges are those, any
pictures?

Brit Adams cuts very nice ones out of 321
SS (laser cut).

William,
Well, it is nice to know I have Kevin
fooled!
We can cut you two flanges with the proposed change, no
problem. You are looking at $25 ea for them. Shipping would be
additional. When they are done, we can call you, get a credit card
number and take care of it all then.
I will wait for a verification email to proceed with this
understanding:
Cut two of the same flanges that Kevin designed (I already
verified that he is okay with that), except put a 1.75" diameter bore
in them. I will put the center of the bore in line with the bolt holes
left-to-right, and at that 2.4/2.6 coordinate up-to-down (.100" off of
centered between the bolt holes).
If that is okay, we will get going, and should be able to have
them on UPS (or other) in a week or less.
Let me know, and thanks for the inquiry.

You were recommended to me by Kevin
Lane, (see note below)
I am interested in having some flanges
very similiar to what Kevin had made, from 304 Stainless
steel.
The only change that I would want is to
have the center hole be circular (i.e. round) for 1.75" tube to be
welded into place. The picture sony 001.jpg is a photo of the
flanges you made below, Scan10023_c.jpg is a scan Kevin's drawing
showing the desired change to a round hole instead of the peculiarly
shaped one.
Are you willing to make more flanges? I
am in need of two of them. What would be your price and
turnaround time?
Thank you

my flanges came back from Laser Cutting Services.
They have been great people to deal with. I left the slug
in the one flange to show how thin a cut the laser makes.
Apparently water jet cutting produces even a finer cut, but for
small production runs laser is cheaper. These are 3/8" 304
stainless.
