Technical question : header Flange

Does anybody know the design of the header flange?

I know that they are roughly in this configuration
O--OO--O

But I need to know what the distance between centers are on all 4 ports, and how far the bolt hole centers are from the center of the ports.

I am trying to make my own drawing of a header flange.

Does anyone know where I could get this information?

You could measure it?

Or measure a gasket

Hmmmm thanx.

I think I am going to goto Advance auto and see what I can buy.

I dont understand how a 1 5/8 tube would fit around that port and still avoid that bolt hole
