Looking for a metal fabricator / Machining guy

[OutCole'd]

My exhaust sits up too high on my transom so I do not have the clearance for some new Rex mufflers. I need a couple of spacers made to back off the transom about 1" and angle it down to clear the swim step.
Any ideas????http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/1075Magic_exhaust.jpg

Contact RD!!! :D

You will need just a "straight" spacer with the top corner beveled off from what I'm seeing. You don't want to wedge it or change the angle of the tip. That will cause alignment problems inside at the hose/riser.

Good point Mike. How long are the studs on your mufflers? Can they be extended to the thickness of the spacer?

If RD can't help try these guys (http://www.ddwire.com/)

You might want to try a board member named "v-drive" he knows a ton about metals.

I will measure studs for you. Can always use longer ones if necessary. How thick's your transom?

Not sure, I will call the boys at Magic tomorro and ask them. I think I have a line on a machinist to do the work, now just need to design them. Looks like we will need two sets.

Here is my artist rendering of what I will need. Obviously it is not deadly accurate.

Close enough for government work! :supp:

Go a few thou oversize on the hole or the 4" tube will not slide through it.
If I were doing it I would sand a block of wood to use as a template to match the radius under your step rather than just slicing the top off like that. Both will work, my feeling is it would look better not just sliced off.
If you'd like to see what I mean PM me a fax number tomorrow and I'll draw a little sketch.

PM WSUWRHR. He can hook you up.

Got the sketch Mike. Thanks.

Why are you using stainless? Doesn't seem cost effective,aluminum is much easier to machine, cheaper,lighter, and if you are worried about corrosion anodize it. :hammerhea v-drive

[superdave013]

Just about done! lol I was just making some parts pretty close to what you are needing. But like v-drive said, I used 6061-T6 alum.
