Got a set of headers on Ebay for around $200....one had a damaged tube....I had set them aside and then noticed the flange was fubar'd.......

Went midevil on it with a torch; will see if it can now be milled

I've fixed a few VW triangle flanges just like that. Get it red hot and then hammer it straight against a flat steel table etc.

hopefully you can get it real close before you mill it.

hopefully it did not shift the primaries to the point were they do not fit
