HardmanGT Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i actually was going to post on here once i got a few made. i have recently started back on my banshee project, it will have a rz topend. didn't really feel like making my own flange for this. i made a print for the flange i need, had the flange made at the waterjet house. the guy i deal with there is cool, but he likes me to buy a bunch of something when he has to program initially. so, i had to get 10 flanges made so i could have my 2. the flanges will be made from 1/4" stainless. i can't remember offhand the id of the flange, but the spigot i need for my bike is only 7/8" long. i have pro circuit pipes, which will require a 1 3/4" tube to connect to. i just sent him the print for the flange last friday. i'm sure it will be a week or two before something comes back. if you like, i can look you up once i get some. now, the flange i need for my bike is only 1 1/8" long overall. that is with the flange being 1/4" thick and the tube length being 7/8". not sure if it is the same with other pipes. i am guessing that since i have some off the shelf pipes, that my dimensions would work for any other brand pipe. if that is the case, once i get my run of flanges back, i'll weld the tube ends on, stick a tab on top for pipe spring and let you know. I would love to get a set of these for my project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Dan at patriot racing does rz shee motors. He may have spigots, or possibly can make them. Have a phone number or e-mail address I can reach him with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castor927 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 hmm, my spigot was just going to come straight out of the cylinder. i will be around the bike tomorrow, will look at aiming it up, down, over, etc to see if it makes things fit better. what brand pipe do you have?? i had also a set of fmf fatty pipes also that weren't being used, they and the pc pretty much mimiced eash other.

Yaxy Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Alright guys I guess I can chime in here. As some of you know I have a RZ shee in which I made my own flanges. Over the past year I have been asked to make some and have been dragging my feet. I have enough spigots already cut and and plates with holes in them for 5 sets. the only thing I have left is to weld is the spigots/eyelit to the plate, shape the plate to the gasket and drill the two holes to mount to the cylinder. I will talk to my welding pal this week to see if I can get these welded up soon. As far as angle goes, I recall that the left cylinder angles inward which means when you weld the spigot in you need to angle the spigot towards the outside of the frame just a tad. For both cylinders the spigots should also be angled upwards but not much. For those of you who would like to borrow one send me a PM. I am more than happy to let someone borrow one but here is the deal: - You pay for shipping - I receive a $25 deposit that I will refund when I get it back. If you have any questions let me know. I do not visit the site everyday so please be patient. Chris Edited October 18, 2007 by Yaxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
