does anyone sell slightly tilted ex manifold spacers?

[Rapid Robert]

my manifold is a bit too close to the steering column. Thank you for your time. RR

A spacer wouldn't help. You can have it angle milled on a bridgeport type milling machine, and you will need to re spot face the bolt holes also

How close is close? Heat blanket?

I will see if I can get a pic to upload, been having prior problems with that

 

[Rapid Robert]

I took a pic then plugged the camera into the computer & I got the same as before, a solid black square covering 7/8 of the screen

Download the picture to a file and then attach the file to your post.

 

[Rapid Robert]

the pic wont show up it is just a black screen but I will play with it again. My tech skills are lacking. this is a thin racing steering shaft & the end where the coupler is welded to the shaft the coupler is significantly larger in dia & it is too close to the manifold

The problem with angle milling the manifolds is that the manifold bolts will be at the wrong angle.

 

[Rapid Robert]

yeah it crossed my mind about the wrong angles. I am going to take my camera over there & take a pic but first I gotta line up some computer help

IF you have it angle milled, the guy doing it can easily spot face and redrill (at the same angle) the mounting holes.

I actually did something similar to the way you originally asked about. I milled and drilled some angled spacers for a set of custom headers..... but it only worked because the headers had the Stahl mounting pattern. Spacers bolted to the head, headers bolted to the spacers.
I don't see how that could work with stock manifolds.

I see that there is still no pics, but did u ever get this figured? Thanks. Kim

 

[Rapid Robert]

Kim I ended up cutting the outlet flange several inches up at an angle then its being welded. I'll know soon when I get it if it clears the steering shaft but its looking pretty good. RR

 

[oldkimmer]

So you’re using a B/E body manifold? Kim

 

[Rapid Robert]

I'm pretty sure yes. & even then with a thin racing steering shaft it was too close for comfort
