I know what your dealing with. I have used Sanderson's on customers cars.
Ill fit and poor welds. We swapped headers with them on a Nova and the
second time they failed I just rewelded them myself.

I have the BB3 intermediates. I'd say, don't bother. Just return
them.....
Mike H. I have a BBC Chevelle with manual trans, and I want the
'shorty'/intermediate headers. Hedman and Sanderson are the only 2
headers I know of that will fit. Oops, make that "Hedman is the only
ones I think will will fit".
ARRRRGGHHHH!!!

I'm also having an issue with Sanderson headers for my BBC. They bolt up
okay, but the passenger side header rubs the frame. Usually the
passenger side slides right in and the driver's side is the tight one! I
was going to exchange the long tube for their intermediate ones, but now
I don't know if I should bother.

Has anyone ever actually bolted on a set of Sanderson <Junk> headers?
Of 5 sets for a BBC that I know of, not a single set will bolt up to a a
BBC.
That's 0 for 5!!!! aaarrrrgggghhhhhh!! My first set would not bolt
on. Called Sanderson, talked to the owner. She (yes, she) started
giving me some lame excuses for why it might not bolt on. I don't care
about your quality issues... She said they'll send me a new set; test
fitted to ensure they will work for me. 2 week later, I call to
inqure as the whereabouts of my new set. Jeremy says, " we only had 3
sets on hand, and 2 of the sets would not bolt on to a set of heads; the
'good' set will ship out today". Why 2 weeks later on the day I call to
inquire? and why would 3 of 4 sets not bolt up? Junk, that's why!
So I get them, finally, nearly 3 weeks later. Tonight I test fit one
one. NOT! Stupid junk crap still won't bolt on. 42 years of the same
bolt pattern; same head, same, same same! arrrgghhh! I've spent
$500.00 and wasted 2 months on these headers.
How hard is it to bolt up to a 40+ year old design? I could build a
flange myself that would bolt up, with a hand drill!
I guess I get to grind and cut on a brand new set of coated
headers.......... AARRRRGGHHH!!!
I'm wishing I would've saved time and money and frustration, and bought
a set of Hedman's.......
A buddy of mine has the same set of headers... same problem, will not
bolt up . That's 5 of 5 sets. Stupid junk crap. I'm going to look
for the 'made in Taiwan' sticker.
