Has anybody got a spare pair of Tuscan RV8 exhaust manifolds? Would love to make some but just haven't got the time.

Had a small spin and the engine cut throwing a load of fuel in the exhaust. One of the collectors has a hole in it. Fuel ignited, came through the hole, and started to burn in the exhaust wrap. Put it out by restarting the engine. Bit of a scary moment smile

Hi Dave

Sorry to hear of your problem mate, sounds like a lucky escape...

as Perry said did the deal and I picked the header up off him Saturday (along with a front arb) at the NG open day..spent the past two nights cleaning them up looks like the header is made of the same stuff the one I already had is. T45 .stainless / alloy?

Hope you get it sorted look forward to seeing you out there...
