Tasmin exhaust manifold please

[cello297]

Broke the n/s exhaust manifold taking the engine out (2.8 Cologne). Can anyone help?
It's a Ford part - the other side is TVR! - but none of the breakers are coming back to me. Part number 73TF9431CA. Also looking for a sump plug and a bottom pulley.
Look forward to hearing from you lovely people

There were loads on e-bay for about a tenner the last time I was looking.

Steve Heath do a magnetic sump plug for the V6 (and V8) to catch any bits of metal circulating round the engine:

The manifolds have ford badges but are Tasmin specific. Their elbows are well tucked in.

TVRCarparts sell stainless steel ones but sit down before looking at the price

Thanks for the advice chaps. I've finally ordered stainless manifolds becauseI couldn't find a cast one. Today, check the email and find one offered. If anyone wants my o/s one, just call or I can refer you to a chap in Newcastle with a near side one.

I don't know if its any help but I think on the S1 the cast manifolds are 2.3 litre cortina manifolds (fitted on the wrong side of the engine on the S so they point forwards) and are very difficult to find.

Hi

Do you still have the contact info for the guy with the 73TF-9431-CA manifold.

Cheers
Dave.
