Looking for install lakester headers on my 51 flathead in a '35 Ford 5 window coupe with no hood or engine side panels.

Speedway on their website says the patriot headers will not fit. Is that because the '35 coupe body may be wider than say a typical '32?

Don't know what you looked up but Speedway says that Patriot (H8474) is a universal fit for 1935 Ford model 48 on their site.

Check out what Sanderson has to offer. Their Limefire headers are on my '32.

Can you weld? I would contact Matt @ Geardrive. He was making custom lakester-style headers. He was offering pre-made and U-fab header kits a while back.

If you can weld and have a reasonable amount of fab experience you can make them yourself IMO. I bought a kit from a national vendor and actually enjoyed the job. Just saying
