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

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!
cheers

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.

cheers

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?

The exhaust manifold in the 1.7 it's joined with the intake one...

Do you have some picture of the manifold, even if it is a virtual image?

the 1.7 manifold is not physically joined to the intake so it would be possible .

and i share your view foggy - but it wouldnt be me doing it .

cant really say for the price - pinto / zetec manifolds for RH's are £140 , so i suppose in that region

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.

cheers

James

I'd probably take one too ,depending on cost etc.

Same here

How much on average and what waiting time?

I'll take a 1.7 manifold.
