I take the original piece, cut out the heat riser, poke out the pins and braze closed the holes. You could plug the holes many other ways. It makes for a nice clean transition.
I have never noticed or looked for a piece like you show. Interesting

We have a 1969 Buick Skylark with a Buick 350 Engine and would like to eliminate the heat riser. Can anyone please provide a referral to where we may go to purchase a heat riser spacer to replace the actual heat riser? One similar to the attached photo? Appreciate any assistance or suggestions.
Thanks,

Those pieces were available as far back as 2009. Once the initial run ran out he planned on making NO MORE. Too costly & it wasn't really worth it for his time & $$$ outlay.
