Thread: Securing Header Baffles

Tweet

I think i would have a mechanism where it 'pulled' the baffle into a seat. The seat could be a perminant piece of the header and it woyuld take the place of the very 1st ring of the baffle, it would have threaded inserts (similiar to used in wood) welded at about 120deg with allthread extending to near the end of the collector. Slide the baffle up into the collector working the allthread thru the remaining ring and start the motor end of the baffle into the seat, slide some larger o.d. sleeves over the allthread and run a nut down to the sleeve and pulling/pushing the baffle into the seat and clamping the whole mess in place without any hole to the outside. You could have the allthread just long enough to hold a trim ring to finish off the face of the collector.
I like your baffle, might have to copy it.
