Default Intake Flange

Does anyone know of a company that makes intake flanges for the cathedral port heads? I am thinking of making a sheetmetal intake but havent seen flanges yet.

Yes but I would like to find them in mild steel. Unfortunatly I don't have a TIG and my MIG isn't set up for aluminum.

Dont buy the aluminum ones i bought them last year and they dont fit! The bolt holes arent at the right angle and the holes dont line up.

Ditto ... Those are complete junk and are 100% useless. I had some of my own flanges made by a machinist buddy. I'll be using them on a 52mm itb setup for my lq9 1960 falcon gasser project. They turned out very nice with a perfect fit. I do happen to have an extra set right now. PM me if your interested.

Are they aluminum or mild steel? I can't weld aluminum at this point in time.
