Flanges modified for alternate production
Posted by Craig Hendrickson On 2013/8/19 14:38:27
Once again a shortened work morning due to weather, but we did get both flanges modified and one sent with an original P-side exhaust manifold with generator mount to my alternate production supplier.
Here's a picture of Lance cutting one of the install slots. I don't have a big mill, so we had to do this by hand (grinder, cutter and flat file), but it turned out pretty good and the production version should be top notch:
The other modification to the flange is the notch for clearance of the oil dipstick tube. You can also see the install slot on the rearmost center exhaust port bolt hole position (first attempt, so it's a little rough).
