Joe, i guess I am not too much help, as I don't remember the web site.
Maybe it was Stahl, anyhow they sold header pieces and listed the flange for
spits at about $32.

Just had to stir the pot.

James and all,
THis thread has dredged up a project that I have on the back shelf.  A
while back I was considering making header flanges for the SPitfire
1300/1500 engines in both mild steel and Stainless for those who don't
want to buy Pacesetter or put out the bucks for the 4-2-1 ones that are
available.

I suspect I can deliver the Stainless ones for under 50 bucks and the
mild steel for even less.  With those pieces, you can go to a tubing
shop that has a bender and manufacture whatever you want!

How does that sound?

Joe
