Hello everyone. I'm looking at casting some new pipes as I need 4 to fit two different units. Application is S-4683 to S-10536 & PS-1 to PS-13285. This weekend I got most of the pattern cut out, just some finishing touches, a core box, and then will post to the foundry ASAP to get proofed. If it works out ok, I would be open to casting some to sell, possibly with an eye to marketing through the club. Any interested party may contact me by email please, & I will make a list. Costs are unknown at this point. Thanks for looking

Thanks

Cast Iron is around 1% . I will get four castings and see if any slight modifications are needed.

Truth is I didn't look too hard. Between two units I had four bad pipes so I decided to make some. I am going to have a go at some intake manifolds later & wanted to sharpen my mind a bit as these are a lot easier. I don't like parts with repaired flanges and sewed up seams so well.
