Hi everyone,
After the touch & go situation regarding cracked manifold problems prior to the Eurotour, I have managed to obtain a spare UNUSED new old stock cast exhaust manifold for the RH ( driiver's side ) which is the one that usually causes grief.

It is 2.3 V6 Cortina LH, Genuine Original Ford part, No: 73TF-9431-CA.

For the TVR 'S' it will need two M10 studs screwing in to the nice clean tapped holes, and also the flanges will require grinding to a tapered profile as per the TVR mod to allow the downpipe upper flange to clear the chassis. ( No problem, I did mine using a 9"/ 230 x 6mm grinding disc. )

As you know, these manifolds are much rarer than the teeth of hens that have been fed on rocking horse doo-doos, I've been looking out for these for 18 months, so if you need a replacement, PM me.

Just bumping this in case somebody that needs one hasn't spotted this post yet.

Can bring to SCH on bank holiday Monday if there are any takers.

You just can't find these on the shelf at your local motor factors these days.

It's the same thing, an email via Pistonheads through my profile page.
But I haven't received your email yet.
