Default Vintage BBC headers

We've decided to go with a new set of black coated headers for Benjamin's Nova, would like to install something that looks vintage '69'ish. What brand fits the look and installs the easiest?

No p/s, but manual transmission.

Regardless of the Headers, have them coated by Calico. Their work is top notch and gives the headers a true vintage look. They age with grace too. After 3 years on my Z, they look like vintage gold.

I'd be willing to bet its a place that does some kind of heat coating ...
