Mark,

I have used the flanges before and never had a leak problem. Plus there is not enough metal between holes to split them. To do the splits would mean having two seperate flanges made I think. As for leaks....I use high temp silicon and no gasket on headers to heads and the flanges. I learned this from DV years ago.

BTW Chris Noland had some leakage issues with his slip fits and ended up re-doing them as it messed up the O2 like you said.

Yes Larry made the chassis and the body. He made improvements to both on my car. Chassis has lots more width for seat and feet, and more length in the cockpit vs. previous ones. I am 6'2 and I may even get seat sliders on this one. He created new body molds that incorporate the wider fenders in the back, saves me from adding them after the fact. I think he has the body about ready to paint as we speak.
