Any out there know where I can source a set of headers for '69 RHD  428. Still waiting to hear back from owner as to if it has rack & pinion or steering box conversion.

Don't think your options in Aus are going to be very good as its hard enough to find a pair that fit a LHD car out of the US.

You could try Stan at FPA to have a custom set made?

The FPA's are made to order. I was quoted about $800 in ceramic coat.

I though PFA were made in the usa ,so a set made for a RHD 428 would be a problem ,steering box possi ,pitman arm etc would be a problem with the car not been there to check for clearance .If it has a rack you might have a chance .

Yes USA made. But as I said, made to order, not off the shelf. So things can be made to request. I would suggest asking someone who makes them day in day out if they could make a RHD set.

If it was mine I would just make a set, but they are required up north in WA as a supply only for a mate of a mate. Custom made on this model I would agree they would take a day or so to make on the vehicle. I'll look into it a bit further. Thanks for the replies guy's.  ..... I appreciate it.    :thumb:
