G'day all,

I think I'm pretty happy with my flange design so I think it's time to share. There's a few views to give an idea of what it looks like.

Design features:
-Symmetric
-Houses Bosch style injector with the pintle cap removed, the counter bore can be adjusted for different styles
-1-1/2" pipe fits into the flange, it's intended to be snug so it can be positioned and then welded
-Locates off the two top studs, I've had a guess but without the original head drawings's I can't evaluate tolerance stack up but I figure it can be drilled out if it's too tight.
-Thread between injectors for fixing fuel rail
-Smooth transition from oval port to round

I'm hoping to find a machinist interested in collaborating since this is the only part of my new manifold I can't make myself. I can generate a parasolid really quickly, if I need to draft it up it'll take a bit longer. It would be best to make one first (which I'd fit to my car) and once the design's solid we could make up some more for anyone else who's interested. I'm based in Adelaide now so someone around here would be awesome! All I really want to get out of the adventure is the manifold I've designed out my head and on the car.

Cheers,

Dylan
