you must braze the ball joints.
If you can meet your end of the bargain, I will keep mine, or I will refund. [8D]

Thanks Pe, not sure where I can get someone to do the brazing. I will go with an inverted set up, what about the VA -DB 2 or the VA – DBW 2, Stainless options? Will this work? (I will need to sign up for Paypal)

A further question, When buying a header, would this include the Teflon coupler?

Mike

When you go inverted, the VA-DB2 will be excellent, if you use the right height difference between exhaust port and fuselage tunnel (drop) Such a header can be made to order. Standard drops are 25 and 50 mm. Different drop dimensions will not be a problem, but extra jigging time must be accounted for.

Edit:
The coupler is a separate part, and not included with the header

Why not tilt the engine down a little. Your stock header will line up properly then. That's what I have done, works great!
