Engineering Firm

Postby gravelrash2004 » Mon Jan 03, 2011 6:46 pm

Moderators apologies if i have put this in the wrong section. Please move to where you think is best

I am looking for a small engineering firm or someone who can do me a one off piece of work for my van.

what i am after is someone to make me two exhaust manifold plates from stainless steel approx 10mm thick and the same shape and size as the exhaust gasket i can supply;

I hope someone can offer some information on this = BTW i am in the midlands

its for my DOHC van

I am fed up with getting replacement exhausts for it that dont seem to last more than a year and the latest one i have had fitted 3 months ago is blowing from 3 places already. taking it back to be replaced under warranty. not a good system for £400

I have spoken to my local powerflow exhaust supplier and they can custom build me a stainless steel system if i can provide the exhaust manifold flanges. seems teh way to go for me, it will sound throaty, free up a few horses and torque and last the life of the van.
