Thread: Sanderson custom header service

Tweet

Your headers look fantastic. Look like they grew there. Look at the welds and all, just perfect.

As people know from my recent posts, I will say something when a company doesn't do what they promise or if there is a quality issue. Conversely, I will also go out of my way to say good things when someone does a good job. In Sanderson's case I have only great things to say.

The Limefire headers have been on my '27 for probably 20 years, and although showing some age are still not rusty inside or out. I have a set on my '23 T also and they are equally good. Dan has a set of Jaysters on his '29, and although the car has not been started yet, the quality is obvious and they fit with no modifications, just like the other two sets I own. Nick at Sanderson went out of his way to ship my turnouts in one day (coating them specially) so that I could make Daytona, and that is the kind of service they have always provided.

My other Son Don for some reason bought his headers from another source (not fair to mention here) and they were horrible to get installed. No holes on the flange lined up with the holes in the head. We had to elongate every hole a very big amount (almost into the tube in some cases) and they are still a tight fit.

Dan had his Jaysters custom built and they offered to send them uncoated as a trial, just as they did with you. We took a chance and they fit perfectly and look great. Sanderson rocks.

Oh, about starting your rod up with new headers, I know what you mean. But what else can you do? It isn't like we have a second set for just breakin. I started both of mine up with the new Sandersons on it, and only the ones on the '27 got a little cooked in a couple of spots. No real damage though. The ones on my '23 didn't even heat up much at all and are fine.
