Nearly done lad's, what do you reckon, any good?
It's made from 5mm wall steam-pipe.

Many nights with the tig, and grinders LOL

I think you are one talented little vegemite Silas. Lots of ingenuity and 'can do' in your approach. :beer

Not a bad job mate!
Steam pipe is definitely the way to go,
Could ease up on the power a bit though to avoid those undercuts.

Undercuts?

If you mean the welds, they are done without any filler rod on the first pass and then they get a second pass to fill them up!
That way i got good penetration rofl

Ive seen manifolds like that with a small cut from each bolt hole to allow for expansion. Not sure if it's good or bad, just something I've noticed.

Top work so far though... :beer
