I would be concerned about the carbs sticking out too far, mine is just inside, and I mean just.


Have you got your inlet boots and carbs yet I presume you have as you have put the bends in the outer pipes, have you do this so to prevent re spacing the carbs, have a dry run so you can see how far they will stick out.

Yes i ahve got the carbs, and the bends are there so i do not have to respace the carbs, and the carb end can be cut back. i will have a dry run with them soon.

My first manifold wasnt too far off that, i found what took the most work was fettling the internal bends so there were no sharp edges. I filled bad internal rads with mixy ali stuff and then sanded by hand.

What are you using for joining tubes?

i got my tubes to join to the manifold. i use the rubbers which came with the carbs.

How did you weld your manifold Together Jacko,Rich and DarrenW?

and rich what type of filters are they?

Hi Stuart
in my photos you will see a jig i made. This bolts to a 5mm plate with holes to suit the head . then i made the pipes up but be fore welding them in the jig i clamped it all to a big lump of channel to stop to bending .
[ i used a mig welder ]
after welding it all up i brazed the insides of the pipes on the bends the smooth the flow .
I hope this helps you

I used these rods and it did not go as well as i throught.

I cheated and used Boggs for mk2.

my filter is K&N challenger - rather large but doesnt run out of air.
