355 manifold rebuild.
Discussion
Been meaning to share some pictures of my manifold rebuild for some time now, they have been back on the car for just over two years and are great.
Rebuilt by a friend of mine who used to weld up tissue thin titanium manifolds for Williams F1 amongst other things, now heavily into aerospace R&D work.
It was the NS that failed, but both were rebuilt, there was great anticipation on him receiving the manifolds as he assumed being Ferrari they would be something nice.... 'the worst quality manifold he has ever seen' was the comment, wrong material, wrong bending technique, wrong welding method.....
The pictures sadly don't show the internal welds, they were every bit as good as the external, argon shield purge was used inside the pipes, a work of art.
Regards,
Chris.
