Alan,
Yes, that does sound like a good solution. It's too bad I didn't think of
that before I put it all together over the last 3 years. I'm inclined to
try to make do with less complicated / expensive / time consuming options
before I go for coating the exhaust headers, but thanks for the great
solution.
Cheers,
Rick
