Car going to Derby to have stainless exhaust 16-2-09 (1)
The engine bay is a tight fit - I was advised that the only standard cast iron manifold that would fit would be from a MGB V8 - I saw one, but it had very tight bends for the gas to flow, so decided to make one, I bought the various bends to weld together, but soon realised that it needed to be done by a specialist, as Mick Oldfield, my welder only hads access to 90 and 45 degree bends, but we required the use of a proper pipe bender - Mike Taylor at LotusBits suggested JR Fabrications - Newlands Farm, Hatton Fields, Hilton, Derbyshire, DE65 5GQ - so here we see the car on its way. 16 Feb 2009 (259)
