Hi
Don't suppose anyone has a spare set of 45mm trumpets on the base plate lying around that they may want to sell?

Hi guys,
Just measured my plenum and it is 70mm so may be interested i the 72mm as well as the trumpets. Please let me know how much you want for them. Feel free to pm me ([e-mail]).
Thanks

..do you have a 45mm inlet manifold already?

[Overhere]

I've emailed you, I'll get back to you with price, at any rate I'll give you a good deal, I'm not interested in making money, just to recoup some of the cost

I was going to get mine machined out to match the trumpets. I did manage to get one second hand but it was for the flapper style as opposed to hotwire...

flapper style vs hotwire - err.. whats that got to do with the manifold under the trumpets ?

Well with regards to the manifold I have got one lying around that is part machined - its opened up to 45mm at the top end for the first inch or so but the blending has not been done lower down (so the precision top stuff is done and its just the elbow grease and dremmel-type work that is left lower down. Let me know if you are interested.

The one I bought had different water port locations compared to the one on my car and would require plumbing in differently. I guess that the castings may have been changed around the time they changed from flapper to hotwire? Not sure, but not the right one for my car anyway
Think I have someone lined up to machine mine, I will see how he gets on, I may well be in touch....
