Can you save it in a downward version of Autocad previous to 2004 so most of us could see it....I have 2002; lower the save year the better.

You too Buly.
Contact me at lendich@optusnet.com.au and I will reply with the drawings.
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!

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

Subject: [FlyRotary] laser parts
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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
