Source for mild steel header parts?

Does anyone know of a place that sells mild steel flanges and 1 3/4" mild steel tubing in various bends as well a collector. I am looking for some parts to begin fabbing up some parts for a twin kit. Any help would be nice! Anyone have any comments about Innovative Turbo's Progate adaptor?

You don't want to try it Jordan style and use a backwards slp header?

Bill I did several posts on different messagebd and called several people before doing my project. From what I got out of all of it, if you plan on keeping the kit for awhile do stainless. I hurd a few guys talk about after a few years they could squeeze the primary tubes together collapsing the tube by hand I would say that 90% of those that ran mild steel had problems after a few years(2). I wanted to go budget at the time, but in the long run didnt want to have the kit fail.
