Any ideas where i might find a cheap swirl pot with 3 or 4 inlet/outlets?

Make one!

You can weld so have a go, they can be steel.

Pop down to B&Q, get some thin tube for the inlets/outlets and cap a bit of tube.

Here's mine, cost maybe 1/2 hour and scrap Rescued attachment Swirl_pot.JPG

Thanks Mark, that would be a last resort. Not having much time to work on the car atm i though id try and find a cheap one and use the half hour fitting it

In which case do not worry, as long as the fuel in the tank is high its not an issue, just leave some slack on the fuel pipes so you can add at a later stage.

I raced an EFI landrover for years without a swirl pot, never had an issue, its more a track day goodie not required if you do not have any issues.

I made mine as I had some spare time really.
