Dan
I got into a discussion with ???"someone"???? at Summit point who told me th=
at ???"another someone" ??? Had bought the tooling and design from Stahl for=
the TR4s ..... I wish I could remember who it was that was telling me this a=
nd who it was that bought it from Stahl .....hopefully someone will chime in=
......someone with a better memory then me :)=20
It may have been Richard Good ???
Anyway I purchased a stahl header just before they retired and had quite the=
fitting issues as well ...in Stahl's defence my head is milled down so the f=
lange hit the block but the flange was also too big for my intake to fit and=
the bolt holes didn't line up to the head..... a slight massage of the fram=
e and it fit passed the frame but I ended up welding the inside of the tubes=
do I could remove enough material to fit the intake :(=20
Good luck=20
Cheers Mike=20
