[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 109510, member: 3625"] What I am now wondering is whether it makes any sense for Armours to flange the rear pipe. Maybe it would be best left to the installer. Given the uncertainties on the never-standard Vincent, how could they ever know the correct angle? There's one more thing I didn't mention. Their attempt at a flange was quite crude. The flange was very wide and flared out like the mouth of a trombone. Just to get it to go into the opening, I had to trim quite a bit off the rim. Upon doing that, what remained was not at all flat. There were several hammer divots as well. I had to flatten that and then trim some more. I was then able to try the installation. That got me the foothills of the real adventure. Gary [/QUOTE]
