Thanks
Hey, I appreciated the pictures of your set up but got busy and never thanked you for the post. I imagine that you are using a CNC Mill to do the cutting. I have a manual "Mill/Drill" that is not as accurate, rigid... as what I learned on and my skills certainly don't lend themselves to cutting perfect circles by hand. I will either hit up my brother-in-law who has a custom shop in the Bay Area or try to do it on a lathe as was suggested by Jim K. I wish I had a CNC mill though.
I think I found a picture of your exhaust manifold on the web when I was searching for Spica manifold pictures that shows the vacuum ports attached to the back. Great idea. I was going to tap each port runner separately where the boss is but your idea is cleaner.
Thanks again,
David
