And then there were two.

I'm terrible at taking pictures. Maybe it's my small workspace, or how cluttered and close all the stuff is... It's hard to get a clean shot of the new bits.

Anyways, check out the fitment! I'm pumped! I feel validated in the N+1 tool purchase.

3 down, one left. Anybody have ideas for how I can hold everything in place during finish welding?

In reply to Brotus7 :

Tack weld square tubing to the outside of the pipes creating little "boxes" every 12" or so. They'll do a lot to keep everything in place as you weld up the input flanges and such. Also, if you have a spare head or welding table, bolt the header down tight while welding to prevent warpage.

Peter, that's a good idea and I have plenty of scrap lying around.

4th tube is in and was surprisingly tedious compared to the others. Now to zap away, my favorite part.  Since this is only 18ga, I'm using mig wire instead of the 1/16" filler I typically use for 16ga tube and it's working pretty well.
