I just ordered some 1 5/8" header build kit and will cut and weld those into the existing tubes, I'll need some clearance on #7 for the steering linkage anyway ... couldn't find 14 ga tubing thou, seems everyone uses 16 ga except AME

Thanks ....

Their headers are actually built for them by STANS HEADERS... Stan is an old grump of a man - but a good guy if he likes you. They build a nice set of headers.

A quick little story about that. I was cutting up a tube or two on a set to gain some clearance in a set of headers on my Nomad. It had aftermarket steering column and a Jim Meyer Racing chassis. So after I got them where I wanted them, I carried the driver side down to Stan's shop. He grouses at me for a minute about me cutting sh!t up.... and then says "what's your problem?"... and disappears... he comes back holding a "mock up" set that's all tacked together. Looked like Frankenstein headers. Shoves 'em at me and tells me to go home and try 'em (I've been doing business with Stan for 20 years). They're the mock up set for Art's Corvette with his new Corvette chassis. They fit perfectly for my application. So Stan built me a set. My point is -- the man looked at a pile of spaghetti - and goes and picks out a set that did exactly what I needed them to do.
