    Take a piece of poster board, and a ball peen hammer. Form a template against the head, and take the template to your local fabricator shop. He'll probably turn you out a perfect flange in 1/4" for about $50-$80

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    Price shown is for 1/4" flange. They also offer 5/16" and 3/8". I strongly recommend the 3/8". Anything thinner will curl up like a potato chip. Also strongly recommend 1 1/2" pipes on a 170. Anything bigger will lose torque.
