James, I am looking at your photos and am assuming that is the port 3 primary that is rubbing on the inside of the frame or the K member where it transitions to the frame rail. Am I correct? I was really hoping for some pictures of where the tubes pass directly under the bottom of the frame rails.

There is about .025 clearance from the frame to the tube. It has a small rub mark where it has touched when engine rocks......an man does it !!!ROCK!!!:guitar

Mark - I would be a player for a set of the 1.875 tube headers for sure - My question is do you have a phone number? I found a number on the web, but when I called it was disconnected... I am sure I picked up a wrong number.... I mean if it is on the net it must be true, Right? LOL...

I have 4 sets of 2.00 headers ready to ship.

I have 2 sets that are of the first revision. One is the very set test fit on Pat's car and is the set that is in all the photo's I posted of Pat"s car. The second is identical. $400.00 each set plus shipping.

Third set is second revision and only thing different is that the side out on the collectors was moved further outboard. $500.00 set plus shipping.

Fourth set is our third and hopefully last revision. This set is identical to revision 2 with the exception that we lowered the drivers side collector at the flange end for better clearance. This set I would like to go to someone who can test fit header to a convertible framed car and give me rapid feedback with photos. Headers have fit very well on all cars they have been tried on so far, but I have yet to get any feedback from convertible owners. I have sent two sets out to convertible owners, but they are not ready to install engines for sometime and I want to finalize the changes that I have made. $500.00 plus shipping.

Once I have this design finalized I can build some 1.875" primary headers for those of you that requested them in the original size.

Lastly I would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to provide feedback. It has been invaluable.

All headers are sold. We will be making another run of these in a coupe of weeks.
