Last year, I cut up my stock header to mount my jardine muffler under the tunnel. It was quite a hack job, so I decided to build my own header, from the head back.
Pics to come soon.
Stock header modification
complete stock header
I decided the best way to do this was to make a jig for the stock header. That way I can just connect the points and it should be relatively close.
I am even gonna try and get the mounts done the same way too... cough.. try... cough...
Before I could even get started, I needed to make some tools, as much as I already am one. ha ah
they work great when the wifey can't make it out at night to hold a piece of pipe for you when you are welding...
another
I have been in the process of buying some fab tools also.. Check out the hf disc sander. It actually is pretty dang good. I need to get better discs for it, as the hf ones don't last very long when I am leaning into it with stainless tube. I can get the thing to stall, but with my heft, er muscle, I think I could get most things to stall. It was only 100 new too. Those dang wilton ones are a lot more.
Tools being used
What is missing from the picture is my disc grinder. That is what I am using to cut the tube. I cut a 2" strip of stainless sheet, about a foot long and I went through one of those blades when I got to the bottom. It was a *little* smokey in the shop... ha ha I need a band saw...:face-icon-small-dis
Anyways, here is the beginning of the mess...
