OK, so update time, I've had a quote for 40 (80 pieces) flanges to be made. It will cost me £1072 which is a production cost of just under £27 a flange.

My question is what would you guys expect or would be happy to pay for a reusable SS exhaust flange. I haven't shopped around yet, it's more to get a cost of production and really need feedback on what people would be happy to pay for one. I know a new exhaust system is around £280 but would people pay say £45-£50 for a SS flange?

£20 to £25 per flange [ie 2 bits of metal, not a full set of 4] is about the level I would think is OK

I've just bought CAD software that I may hoping will let me drain it and hoping that will enable me to get them made cheaper as I can just walk in and ask them to cut as per file.

Plus I know a guy who has contacts abroad so I'm also going to put it across to him as well.

I remember that post actually, he said "you need something like this" and posted the picture. That's probably what gave me the idea to get some specific to the storm possibly other v-twins

I think what you are doing by trying to get some of these split clamps made up is brilliant :thumbup:
