Hi Guys,
I had 7 places quote and got prices from $110ea to $250ea...suprisingly no one was really interested in supplying cheaper for bulk except the most expensive places, their bulk deals were still much more pricey than the $110ea place.
So looking at $110ea plus postage which would be no more than $10, Im pretty sure they will go in a 3kg postbag.
Im going to order next Monday...they should be ready in a week.
Cheers,
Phil.

Hi Luke, 16mm is tested and proven from a performance perspective, and also ensures the fuel rail still mounts correctly to ensure the injectors are retained properly. The fuel rail mounts on the inside of the rail lugs on the plenum insted of the outside. Cheers, Phil.

Phil, what company are you using to get them cut, as I am needing a exhaust flange cut and lasermade wants $250.

No problem Guys. I confirmed today the material that will be used is 5083. Nigel, with the numbers here I'll get one cut, but some one who is after just one might grab your spare? Luke, 14mm should be fine, I've only ever used and known 16mm spacers to be used, and seen good power with them so just sticking with what I have used. Fehlbie, Aquacut at Ingleburn is doing the job. Lasermade were one of the dearest ones for these too, Im pretty sure they were quoting $250 a piece. Do you have drawings? I can drop them in for a quote. I also have your K&N filter:) I've got to pay for them when I place the order so if you guys can shoot me a pm I will reply with my account details. Cheers, Phil.

Thats rich Fehlbie. I only recently had 2 of YB exhaust flange, T3 inlet and outlet cut in Perth for $65 from 10mm steel (which they supplied).
