who is the best person for porting headers
As title... who is still doing this ??
Is tone still doing this ?? |
I think Alyn can supply 'Harvey' Headers as well as up-pipes, not heard much from Tone recently so don't know if he's still doing it.

They aren't that difficult to port yourself if you have some tools and a bit of time
|
Drill and a carbide metal muncher from eBay. ....sorted.

Did mine on the bug, easy job. Use the old gasket as a template of sorts to match everything up.

Carbide Die Grinder is the official name.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5pcs-12mmX...4AAOSwDNdV5Xs8 The one I used was called a metal muncher and looks similar to the one on the far right of that ebay advert. I then used a fine pointed one to finish. But 95% of the work was done my the muncher. I was very surprised at how quick it removed material compared to the B&Q regular steel one I tried beforehand |

Very tempted to give this a go with my spare manifold from the old car, never thought about the DIY approach, just need to buy some tools and wrestle the manifold from the engine. |

You will find the bore in the headers is smaller than it needs to be when you compare it to bore hole in the gasket. (I think this is correct) |
