Webra 1.45 header

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Two helpful comments for Emory,

1. I called Macs and ordered several OS and Webra headers and prodded him to start making them sooner.  He agreed to do it this week, so call and tell him you heard that from me.

2. On the OS O-ring approach.  I found that the Mintor headers fit the same exhaust adapter as the OS.  The Mintors have 2 full grooves for the O-rings and you get a better seal and double the O-ring life.  (Caveat: for my experience, this is 30 flights to 60 flights - I want to know the setup that people use to last a full season!!).  Mintor headers come in 30mm and 60mm rise.

The OS exhaust adapter has slots where the screws go but I don't know if there is enough room for it to fit the Webra or not.

  The Hatori header (OS) works as good or better than the Macs....I like the O-ring set rather than the hard welded connection of the Macs


  just FYI

    Does the OS exhaust port match up with the Webra? Do you know if it has to be modified to fit?

    Thanks, Emory

      I know a couple of guys running the OS high rise header on the Webras with good success. A little expensive
      but they hold up, I replaced the o-rings in mine once all season.

        Hello,

        I am looking for a header for the Webra 1.45. I need at least a 1.75 to 2 inch rise. I have tried Central, Radio South and Piedmont trying to find one in stock. I know that Macs makes one, but they don't have them in stock. Horizon doesn't carry anything other than a 1 inch rise header. Does anyone have one lying around that they don't need? I know I can have one made, but I was hoping to find something sooner. Any ideas would be appreciated.

        Thanks in advance,
        Emory Schroeter.
