I never thought about doing that! I think I will try it, I was going to just grind the welds down and weld it flush.

the guy is tops and will really help you out, however he has limit on what he can manufature i.e the 180 bend, you will have to get that from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270617101927&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
there is loads on there like this. it not as good quality as the dph stuff but i had no choice and its cheap. if you ask dph they will leave the dph print of the side so that it will match the chinese ebay stuff
hope that helps you
