morgey Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I've got a saw at work that could do it thinking about it but its not the best, tends to cut at a bit of an angle lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That looks pretty simple Colin and should get them all the same angle. nice pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 yes its pretty simple like that just need a few test cuts to get the angle right i was pricing shop saws a while back there not in my budget atm :( but 1 day for sure its al simple to do but without the propper tools its a hard job Quote Link to post Share on other sites

olidaviesuk Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Plasma cutter is the way to go, have seen cheap ones on eBay, always handy to have round the workshop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I could also cut them on one of our mills at work thinking about it. If you were to mark them up or give me an angle and post them to me i could do it for a bit beer money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Im making manifolds all the time and just use a grinder, a bench top belt sander and some patience. Drop saw makes the job a bit easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 haaa for fuck sake stu rub it in wont you ha ha are you a pro builder or a diy man as my self ?? great work on the kit by the way looks very well will be a while before im up to that level thanks for the tip stu sadly i dont have a belt sander either another 1 0f those i must get in the future things ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you were to mark them up or give me an angle and post them to me i could do it for a bit beer money. think i will hold you on that 1 if all els fails , i must look at what the angels where on my hacksaw cut 1s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Haha thanks, im just a guy with a grinder Few other bits and pieces on my Facebook page if you want a look, link in signature below Using a mill would be way easier, trick is to get the two pairs made and tacked together then machine the two pairs to merge together - if that makes sense. Will post some photos of making one if I can find them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If thats what it comes to, it wont be an over night thing as ill have to find time to get on the mill but can definitely to it.I could make a billet one if i had a chunk of material that size, that would be a bit more work as it would need drawing up on cad lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 You can do them like this too but the flow wouldnt be as good entering the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark1991 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My photobucket isn't working I would have uploaded the collector I made, all with a 5" grinder Al keep trying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
