Did anyone find a place to ceramic coat thorley headers anywhere near me in
New York?

Tom , I know two places you might check out.

Jet Hot Coating
55 E. Front Street
Bridgeport, Pa. 19405
800 432-3379

Swain Tech Coatings
35 Main Street
Scottsville, NY 14546
716-889-2786

Jet Hot did mine. Outside looks great. Close inspection showed a small
area inside they missed coating.

If you buy new thorley headers, before coating, put a light inside and check
the welds. Had to do a little more welding on mine. Of course their welder
had missed those areas where it is most difficult to get to.

To further lower your price, get Thorley to pull a set of headers prior to
them being sent to their coater who I'm told applies a cheap nickel coating.
This way the ceramic coater shouldn't charge you for having to remove the
nickel coating.

I had High Performance Coating do mine on that basis. In fact, HPC got me a
better price on the headers shipped directly to them from Thorley than I was
able to arrange and the fact that I didn't have to ship them to HPC, saved
some money also.

Tom, I saw quite a few ads in Hemmings but gave the copy to Pat Brewer.
If anyone out there in "NetLand" has a copy they probably can find
someone up there in the New York boonies for you!
