had them made so i dont have to reduce pipe to 15-16mm not sure on what the thread is and it is a really tight fit to get the 2 pipes and jubilee clips on but can be done it was a quick cheap think of sorting out the problem but they could do with being modified further theres always room for improvement as in maybe elbow the tops in some way so the pipes are not so tight together if that makes sense  :smiley: and the bore can be taken all out if need be just i didnt tell the guy about it its but shouldnt really restrict that much  :smiley:

i went to a proper old school engineering component place as i have used him before and he charged me £10 bit dear some may say but when you consider the overall price as opposed to a saiko michi can it aint to bad not putting the saiko down but just out of my price range otherwise id have one  :laugh:

£10 each or a tenner for the lot? either way I think thats cheap when you take into count the time to make and material cost. They look well made :smiley:

bargain i had a rocker bolt snap on me fiesta rs turbo and had to re-thread it and have a larger bolt made that cost me £20 a number of years ago, so £10 is a bargain wish i had someone like that near me your laughing if you ask me and looks like a very nice job, always good to have a good engineering firm nearby can save you a packet. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
