Default Ls turbo hooker headers flange question

So I have purchased a Hooker Ls turbo manifold and I am now in the market for a T6 turbo flange with waste gate flange. As I been looking, I have realized there's limited coverage for a bolt in part. As of now Steve Morris is the only producer of this part for $499. Local exhaust fabricators want me to bring in the motor so they can fabricate one up for a price unknown.

Anyone know of a fabricator that may be producing these at his own leisure for the market?

I doubt it, since these manifold fit a great deal of different cars, so turbo placement will be very different. What kid of vehicle are you working on?

This is the only other pre-fabricated piece that I know of, and I don't know whether it would work with the Hooker kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/142074933794. Seems like it would probably be too short. If it worked for you, though, it would be pretty trivial to have someone weld a wastegate port on it.

it's kindof a hard peice to make nicely. I put a t4 flanged s475 in my g body and it's veeeeery tight clearance-wise.

much easier in a squarebody, there's so much room in those trucks....but very difficult to make em get traction

I did see these and felt the same.
