exhaust flanges
oval TOFU - September 22nd, 2005 at 08:48 PM

I've been quoted about $14 for a simple 3 bolt flange for a 1 3/8" pipe - is it just me or does that sound quite expensive?

I'm after a couple of flanges if anyone can help - the aforementioned above and one that will accomodate a 1 5/8" piping (they will be bolted to each other) I only need the flanges coz I can do the welding myself (well, through a friend)..

Cheers

sounds about right man, unless you want to get 100 made, then they'll get cheaper!
Most laser cutters etc have a min charge of about $50.

How much do smokes and beer cost these days?
Yeah, that's cheap.
Get out a hacksaw and a file and let us know if you think it is expensive after your done.
I know a guy that drove around in his Dodge all day looking for a hat, because $8
was too much. He didn't think about the $50 worth of fuel he used.
Oh yeah, he found a hat for $6 !nn[ Edited on 23-9-2005 by dangerous ]

FWIW, Ive made a couple of systems up using the old flanges cut off discarded zorsts!

Cant get 'em much cheaper than that!

Hi Oval Tofu,

Volksbahn in Sydney had new flanges in stock some time ago, they were S&S style sent by mistake from the states.

Give Leanne a call and I am sure she will COD some for you.

Cheers
