Cant buy OFi so i made my own !!! ill update progress pictures when I can, everything is welded with a miller syncrowave 200 Tig, backpurged and some 304 stainless i had laying around the garage.
Hopefully sometime this month ill get some time to do the driverside. Since everything is out, I took the time to install my new Tick Master cylinder too. Hopefully it fixes my shifting issues

other ones i've found on the market seem to have some pretty shoddy machining/ very thin lips that i found was a bit unacceptable. Any pointers of where to look for some nice flanges at a decent price ?
i don't really see too much of a problem using them considering the machining is very clean and well fitted. and its got only a tiny bit amount more material. plus i hate using the stamped v-band versions.

There won't be a problem using those flanges at all. I'm picky how I build my stuff and there are aesthetically better looking ones that will do the job just as well. I know where to look but that would be breaking the forum rules. 
And I agree to stay away from the stamped v-band flanges.
