Any news on the larger header ?

Like the other 2 I talked with in the past about making a header, it was all good at first but then just trailed off into nothing. I think the low dollar project just looses out to the high dollar projects they have ... or claim to have.
For professional shops that advertise all sorts capabilities in metal work they do not deliver. They don't even make an attempt even after I send them a stock header to use as a guide on how to shape it.
The last shop I had contact with actually came back and said they had to out-source the making of the mounting flange ... yea, the round flange that slips up on the header with the 2 holes in it, that holds the header to the head. This "Professional" metal fab shop, with all sorts of photos on their website of the complex headers, custom tube frames for race cars and such, was unable to do it themselves so they had to out-source it. Yep, that's what he said. My response was that I had made one from a couple of auto header flanges I got from JCW, cut and welded them. It did not look all that good (my poor welding skill) but it did work. I think it p__s__d him off because he never responded again.
Anyway, that was not long before the move to OK and I've not done anything on it since.

I could prob get them made here and ship them to the US. Not sure I would want to commit myself to it. My guy made mine while i waited.

Can he put them out for less than $100 each so there is room for shipping and retail profit ?

I've no idea of freight charges.
