I'm looking for a tubular exhaust manifold for the Zetec I'm putting in my Robin Hood. Needs to be a bit cheaper than the £200+vat I've been quoted.
Any ideas where to get one (new or s/h)

[g]Ashley do one for RWD Zetecs in mk2 Escorts that might work. Failing that, someone like GBS or MNR could no doubt help.

Hi FazerBob,

KitPartsDirtect (part of GBS) still have stainless steel manifolds for £145.

I'm not sure of the style, more likely to go straight over the side panel through a hole in the bonnet as its easier to make than lots of bends to get it exit 'through' the side panel..

I Emailed KitPartsDirtect last week, theyare doing the manifold next spring, either made up for £145 or in componet form for £75.

The more emails the faster they could put it into production.

I've just spoken to them on the phone.

The new Zero7 manifolds (pinto ) go straight over the side panal through a cut-out in the bonnet.

The manifolds for the 2B are made to go through the sidepanel.

The Zero7 is narrower, and so the manifold primaries would need to be made a 3 or 4 inches longer to clear the side panel of the 2B..

Easy enough with some short 4" tube stubs the same diameter as the primaries, swagged both ends to make a 'extension section', then just chop the primaries and side on your extension, weld-on or spring together..

surely cheaper than getting one made up..
