Posted November 20, 20177 yr comment_535484 Does anyone have a source for stepped washers to properly mount an intake manifold / header when there is a flange thickness difference? I've added a picture as an example. I know one can be filed down but just wondering if there is a ready source with different step lengths that can be ordered.

November 21, 20177 yr comment_535505 I have made them with half washers welded or ground down a fatter washer. Never did think to see if anyone sells them.

November 21, 20177 yr comment_535525 Never seen them. There are too many options for sizing, even the amount of the circumference that's removed to make the step. It;s one of those projects that is "easy" but takes forever to get the washers just right....

November 21, 20177 yr Author comment_535542 Agreed, although I have seen ones before that looked like they were manufactured so thought I'd ask.

November 21, 20177 yr Author comment_535543 Just called Pacesetter who manufactured the headers on my Z and they do offer them so I'll give it a try.
