Manifolds V8

[Solitude]

Series one V8 (350)

Another hopeful request for manifolds.

Mine really are on their way out.

Condom thin at the top.

Anyone ??

I think the old sets have been weaseled out over the last few months.

Next time ask for ribbed. They may last a little longer if you go easy.

Yeah, figured all snapped up.
Only change I had is someone doing an engine swap perhaps !
Are they available for sale by anyone by any of the suppliers at all.
Can't really stretch to ss (custom made)

Early 350i's used the older cast iron manifolds rather than the flared steel ones. Would an old cast iron set fit, if an adapter downpipe was made? Set of standard manifolds on flea...

I have a pair of stainless ones I got for my Rangey (when I had it).

They came from Rimmers and weren't too expensive.

I reckon one day I will chop them about a bit at the bottom to fit into the small space available, but haven't got a round tuit yet as the current ones are still OK although they have been patched a number of times.

You might consider this approach as an alternative if you can't stretch to Wedge SS ones (that rarely fit perfectly without fettling anyway...)

Locate someone near you who could make a set from mild steel...any good exhaust company should be able to make them..JP might want you to go through ACT as thats where the templates come from...you could have a chat with Tim to see if a mild steel set could be made....

Ill keep me ear to the ground but nothing about at the moment....

I have spoken to them about mine, but managed to get a used set.

They were cheaper than every other TVR exhaust supplier.

He was quoting 2 to 3 weeks delivery but for the life of me I can't remember how much the cost was.

Bored at work, so just prowling PH - I assume Chimaera manifolds won't fit? Apologies for idiot question, but I have at least one spare one in the shed.....

Not without a lot of other work.
