Just a thought.... would scratchbuilding one from a metal or aluminum tube work?

I thought about that too, but I dont really know the size and look of them , since I dont have anyhting to base it on. I plan on restoring them too , so a resin copy would suit my needs better.

Looks like I'll be clearing my bench in the upcoming week getting things ready to go for the casting project for these pipes that Jim sent me on loan ... I'll keep everyone posted once the "fun" begins..  |

**update time** .. spent a few hours today on the Header Project .. when I received Jim's headers there were a couple mega-phones off the sprue.. I decided to use one mega-phone to cast only one just to keep the cost of the rubber down ... I got the clay work done, casting box built, and the first side of the 2-part mold poured .. now we wait a MINIMUM of 24 hours for the RTV rubber to dry then guess what ? flip it all over and do it all over again for the second side for the 2-part mold ! ... wish me luck as there's always that possibility of a mold flaw and a complete "re-do"... this stuff is nothing more than black magic.. sometimes everything works perfectly and other times not worth a hoot .... stay tuned !! keep the positive vibe's flowing fellas !..
