ACT stainless manifolds

[stoker302]

Got a pair of manifolds and Y piece, all the bolts ,gaskets from Tim at ACT and fitted them at the weekend. First class job, no trouble at all. Pity the original manifolds still look good, covered with that heat tape. also fitted a new 2KW starter motor from London and Essex Auto Electrics £105

Looking good Alan.
Don't rate the bonnet support though.

O I don't know. It looks pretty similar to mine. A lot more sturdy than tvr's effort.

Clear ceramic coating would finish them off loverly. Help under bonnet temps and still allow the 'syrop' colouring to develop.

Would you be interested in passing on your old manifolds to a fellow pre-cat owner with a cracked manifold? Happy to pay for them.
Cheers,
Simon

Did you upgrade / replace the wiring at the same time?

[stoker302]

Did not replace or upgrade the wiring, never thought of doing it, should it need it.?

Hi cavebloke, would be interested in selling old manifolds, give me a few days, will have a closer inspection of them.

Alan, looking great mate. You painted the flanges as we discussed, excellent. Once you get your new tray and dash in will start looking the nuts! Hopefully see you at the Growl? All the best, Pete
