Hey! Hey!
No need to get nasty - old men can do, well, most of the
time - that is unless we forget, err ... what the H---- were we talking about?
{:>)
Plasma cutter, uh? Wonder what I could tell the wife
I could repair around the house with one?
I would probably use 304 as that has stood up well in my
384 hours of run time.
Thanks for confirming the material of the RB
flange.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Stainless Steel
13B Exhaust Flange?
looking to re-do my two hole exhaust system into a
single tube. Am looking for a source of 13B exhaust flange stainless
steel. I am aware that Mazdatrix has a Racing Beat Flange - however, I
do not believe it is Stainless steel. Anybody have a source?
You're right about that flange not being stainless. It's
about a half inch mild steel, and it's heavy.
I
never could find any stainless ones, so I ended up making my own out of 1/4"
321 SS, which was probably overkill in thickness and grade of
stainless. I decided it was easier, and lighter to make two separate
flanges, rather than try to copy the one piece flange.
As you see, the plasma cutter was a key ingredient in the
process. You'd be an (even) old (er) man if you try to cut this
with a hacksaw :-)
Cheers,
Rusty
