Anybody have a usable set of 1 5/8" heat exchangers laying around?

If this is the stock VW size I have a set with only about 1000 miles on them. They have the good cast fins. I bought them before the modern coatings and had them aluminized (sprayed with molten aluminum)
Sent you a dialog Michael.
Michael- 1-5/8" is quite a bit larger than the stock size. The stock size runs about 1-1/4" i/d. "Replacement" boxes without heat sinks measure 1-3/8". High-performance flanged aftermarket boxes are 1-1/2".
1-5/8" boxes are about quite a bit more expensive than any of these options, because there's only one place I know of that presently makes them: A1. Berg used to list them in the catalog-- but you had to buy the entire exhaust, and they've been NLA for some time (as far as I know). They're really, really special.
Yeah, that's the primary reason I'm getting a BN2 heater going. Couldn't find 1-5/8" heater boxes for less than both arms and legs and then couldn't find them at all.... But the heater is getting closer to reality every week.
I have a set of heater boxes that are in great shape. I imagine they are 1 3/8". Been sitting in storage for 10 years. I will check size and take pix.
