Chaps,

Need to remake my exhausts (in stainless) but want to make some nice silencer end caps.

I have seen links on here to someone/where that will allow me to input my hole size/can size and taper and print of a template.

Unfortunately I can't find it!!!

Any suggetsions?

Cheers very much

ATB

I don't know the link you are talking about, but I can do that. If you can open autocad files let me know the sizes and I'll knock one up for you. You'll also be able to see how to do it.

If you like maths then this is what you need to do:

Found a semi-automated solution, you still need to draw the template!

And finaly something that prints a template! The limited free version appears to do what you want: http://www.tyharness.co.uk/cones/cones.htm
