Default Gil wedges?

Anyone have 4 Gil/hardin 1/2 inch wedges lying around? Need to raise the exhaust end of the pipes a few inches. THANKS

no-one has any used ones around? Looks like I need to buy shiny ones.

If you need to raise the ends of the tails up, then I would not use wedges. It will change the angle of the tail pipes and will increase the risk of reversion.
I would have some aluminum spacers machined to the exact height you need them.
