1500 Series engine Extractors

[oz_toffa]

We have just been quoted $1000 for a set of extractors even with a set to use for makeing up the shape/size?

What THE????



could be cheaper if 25 odd were made up

any ideas where they can be done cheaper or if anyone else wants them made up as well?

thanks guys. i know Greg has some contacts up in sunny Qld

OZ the last set I had made was $700 fitted they were tuned to the engine specs for the race car. I can bring a plate down but I will need to know as I only have 1 here I would need to have them cut assuming you want all round cast plate? They are around $40 this will save some head ache for them. But I would have to know early this week.

given the manifiold plate and a bunch of mandrel bent tubing easily available (usually) in the right size, plus some straight tube, it's not too hard (although a bit time consuming) to make your own, given some skill with an oxy torch.

I prefer fusion weld with a little filler rod using oxy as MIG will restrict the inside of the pipes somewhat

[oz_toffa]

yes pls GT orpg. just one as i can use it for a template. it is the cast head, all round port style

cheers for the info, guys

I got quoted ball park price of 500-700 clams with me supplying the plates.
I was budgeting for $800 so I wasn't surprised in the least.

Hi Orph,

Do you have any GT extractor plates that you can sell me one or two at the nats. I have a pipe bending friend here in Adelaide who is going to teach me in November. He thinks he can teach any idiot in a few hours but I will prove that I am not just any idiot.

[gt orphanage]

ANY ONE ELSE WANT SEDAN PLATES

[gt orphanage]

Claws I do have a gt one here we have never used. I can get some made but they will need a little work to fit. they have the dowel holes in but the studs fit in the corners and need a die grinder to finish them. I am happy to have more of these made.
BUT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED NOT A DIRECT FIT SOME WORK NEEDED.

[oz_toffa]

give me 2 pls Greg

i might see how much of an idiot ican be

cheers

Thanks orph,
Get me 2 made if you can (GT). Will at least give you the money at the nats if their not ready in time

[oz_toffa]

hey claws

do you mean twin cam engine or standard GT 1600 engine?


OZ

[claws]

I meant Gt, that's why I put GT in brackets. That's a standard 1600 engine FYI OZTOFF. If it was a twin cam I would have said GTR but I haven't got a GTR.

[gt orphanage]

Hi claws did you buy Daves pr90 Just a question DONT BITE MY HEAD OFF HERE but has it got a g160 or a g161 because if it's a g160 they may not be the same I DONT KNOW FOR SURE

[claws]

Hi Orph,
Yep I bought PR90 but GT engine is from the PR91 I bought a couple years ago from the farm on outskirts of Melbourne. Pretty sure it is 161 but will check tonight and message back if not. PR90 didn't come with an engine. FYI OZTOFFA doesn't take my heckling seriously and I don't bite

[gt orphanage]

I figured there was some fun there.

[oz_toffa]

reason for the question

WHO has a twin cam with extractors that DONT FIT ????

and i know you dont have a GTR. Nore do it, but i have a twin cam in the shed anyway!

so doesnt the twin cam need them as well?


are you confused yet. Well i will keep trying.....


thanks for all your help too, GT Orph. We all do appreciate all the running around, and calls, and all that you do on our behalf
