You need to phase the tailshaft correctly. you want angle. You have to make sure both flanges are parallel within .5 degrees. If the tailshaft is dead straight it won't allow the needle roller to move creating a flat spot.

It wouldnt be possible to have it straight with a jag diff unless you put the motor to one side of the car. The jag pinion is offset from centre.

Great car, great video. Would like to pop over for a drool some time. |
G'day Martin,
It's been a long time, car looks very different from when you were last here. Your welcome anytime. Liam |
Headers finally finished. I ended up getting the face of the flange machined to make sure it was perfectly flat. They are now in being ceramic coated. Im pretty happy how they turned out. Not the ideal design for flow, but all i could make fit.

very nice Zedn, I'd be proud of that.
|
They look great, be sure to show us how they turn out after you get them back from being ceramic coated. Are you getting black or white? :)
Regards. |
Polished silver finish.
|
Back from competition coatings. They look amazing.

They look Awesome !
Great Job. |
Great work! You would have to be proud of that finished product.
Cheers |
Yep, im stoked.
They did a really good job, coated inside and out. Only small problem is there were a couple of small areas where i had a blade break on the saw and leave scratches on the pipe. I regret not sanding these out as you can see them through the finish. Not a big deal though as they will be difficult to see when on the car. |
Great job Zedn!
When I see you guys doing stuff like this I get a bit scared of starting my kit.... Then I suppose I could always ask for your help :-) |
Liam, they look spectacular. Great job creating all of those bends!
Can't wait for the shots once they are in place. --JC |
Best way to keep those flanges straight when your welding them up is to find yourself an old head and bolt them up tight and weld them on when there rock solid... Ive seen people do this before its very hard to keep them straight unless you let them cool with them bolted up tight

I clamped them to a piece is 50x50x5 angle and a saw stand. The Flanges were not flat to begin with. I also fused around the ends of the pipe (head side) as due to the tight bends the pipes were not completely square on the end and I didn't wanted a smooth transition into the pipe.
I just had a local muffler shop skim a bit off to make sure they were flat. Wish I had a mill! |
