TB elbow for FMIC

Doing a custom kit, found this site:
http://rx7cz.net/shop/

Anyone know of any other places? I don't want to pay over 100 bucks for something that simple. For the do it yourself people, if you could give me a few pointers as to how to do that if there isn't a cheap one made currently, that'd be cool. Thanks -Zach-

GReddy sells theirs for like $100, but you need to pay for S&H.
You need to figure in S&H on the eBay **** too.
$120 is shipped priced for you in US, so there's no extra charges unless you want insurance or something.

Im taking the stock tb elbow and basically putting a three inch hole in it and then im welding a three inch collar into it so a silicon coupler will attach directly to it. It will still have a 90 degree bend in it but it will saave me $$

Yeah Higgi is on the board too.

The EBay stuiff seems a little sketchy but would probably work fine.

Most competent welders will tell you welding into (thin) cast (aluminum) metal is not recommended.

I think they'd tell you it's difficult, as opposed to not recommended. I've seen plenty of stock TB covers modified in that manner. Over here it's usually cheaper to do that than it would to buy parts like that from overseas. I'm sure I could get one modified for about half the NZ$200 it would cost me to land Higgi's one. I'd prefer a nice cast one, but you can't ignore economic realities.
