Are you looking for a 7" OD-ID connector?

Try:
Dynaflex) http://www.dynaflexproducts.com/media.php#catalogs (http://www.dynaflexproducts.com/media.php#catalogs)

or GrandRock) http://www.grpipes.com/onlinecatalogs.asp (http://www.grpipes.com/onlinecatalogs.asp)

or Lincoln Chrome) http://lincolnchrome.com/ (http://lincolnchrome.com/)

Here's one but don't know anything about them (other than being a little pricey) http://www.truckpipestore.com/7-connector-id-od-aluminum (http://www.truckpipestore.com/7-connector-id-od-aluminum)


Other option is if you can find a 16 ga tube to cut a slice (or two or three) out of to make an ID or OD connector of your choice since this is probably a one off.

I had to have one made for me a shop.  I never found one commercially.

 If you need the flare for the V band connection at the bottom you will probably have to have one formed.>>>Dan

I'd go talk to a metal fabrication/machine shop. Shouldn't be any problem for a larger one. I'd swear our local one could build a battleship if they received an order for one. I've seen them make some incredible items. They made my 4104 aux fuel tank replacement, and a replacement coal furnace kidney that bolted right up to the flange and support without any filing or prying to attach it.
