exhaust manifolds
well , due to the career change , well not that much of a change !!
i might just be able to get some fairly cheap 4-1 exhaust manifolds made , now im thinking most of you will have 1.7 , id probably like to get the 2 litre ones done first , if i can get them done at all .
the CNC tube bender can nock them out like 1 every 20 mins , welded to a plasma cut flange , made to fit the original system .
its an idea - it will only really work if we can get sufficient quantity - like 20 or so .
ideas ? comments ? post away .

My comment would be finish the work you've already taken on before looking for new work

Once that's out of the way, hell yes, I think people are always interested in custom pieces, given that the cars require almost everything to be custom. There's almost certainly the market for 20 world-wide.
I've sorted your pistons into groups, and following a VADIS session to ID them for sure, I'll post them up. Work's getting in the way at the moment....a familiar story I'm sure

cheers
James

I'd possibly take a 2L one depending on price, what kind of price are they likely to be as an estimate?
edit: will these be for manual or power steering versions, *hopes power steering version* as thats one of the only bits of kit im missing to convert!

I think they'd have to be made to fit a PAS car, albeit whilst doing away with the horrific design of the stock downpipe.

Sounds good to me - would definately be interested in the 2l one depending on price.
How about an option for a lambda sensor hole too?

Sounds like a plan
I might eventually be in the market for one, but realistically not for a while. If needed to make up an minimum order, I'd probably take one.
