Gary: I obtained stainless headers from Hemphill's Healey Haven back
around 1994. They are on my LHD BN6 which has triple HD6s on Ruddspeed
Manifolds. There is no heat shield so I wrapped them with fiberglass header
wrap (available from speed shops). They fit fine and are still ok after
several thousand miles and 12 years.
