Yeah, i already cut an original cast which looks ok to weld.

Was basically going to use the base that bolts to head and then have the modified tube welded at the correct angle onto it. So it would be just 1 tube to seem weld round

Just tried to re-jig some hose but did'nt work.

Tbh mate. The bogg bros flange could be cut and rewelded at a better angle then it'll work.

The downpipe bit was welded 90degree down but the kr/9a/abf head is slanted at the front so the downpipe points away from the block.


I could get round this by fitting an (air)oil cooler but then i gotta find more bits.

Gunna be a late 1 if i pop down now hey
