I've been borrowing use of a friends lathe to turn up some exhaust headers. One face sits up against the copper gasket, the other accepts the exhaust tubing. I've managed to face off each side to the required width, but the lathe is just too small to efficiently bore out the centre. It took me about 3 hours to do just this one! Can anyone with a more substantial lathe bore out the other 3 for me for some beer tokens?

Thanks in advance

What's the ID and OD of the finished tube James?

OD is already to spec at 1 3/4" ID is 1.5" for the pipe side, and about 1 7/16" the engine side. I can send out the finished one as a template, material is stainless....


James

whats that in mm, i might habe tube to suit

Joe

44.45OD 38.1 large ID, 36.5 small ID

So a 44.45 od tube with either 38.1 or 36.5 would do the job...
