Looking for header pipes 1 & 3
« on: September 18, 2013, 01:07:11 PM »
Probably a long shot.... But I am after a pair of these for re-chroming.

The pattern ones I have are not a good match and don't assemble well either.

Thought I would ask anyway, the ebay examples are mostly in the US.

DSS ones again...likely to be the same single skin type I have).

I may end up flogging the genuine collector/header I bought (when stock still existed) then buy the DSS complete replica one !

Thanks anyway.

Hello I have one header(original) from my old 400 four, the exhaust is in good condition for its age(but you can not fit on engine, number 4 header is more short than original), if you want talk about it, send me a MP.
Thank you.

Piki

PM sent earlier but dont think it is working?

Just wondered if No3 header was free of dents and not too badly corroded.
I have got a No1 now, luckily.

I  am in UK but do get to Spain now and then.

Cheers

Simon

Paradise Chrome plating
Mumbai
India

I was living there a couple of years back so was bring stuff over and all the time and had it all shipped back when we returned. Had no problem doing exhausts and a few days turnaround. He said he would still do stuff for me but I don't trust the postal service and its a long way to go to sort any problems out.
