I think I have a pair of cast iron ones that came off my TP as it now has tubular ones fitted |

Excellent! The drivers side one hasn't got any studs on mine, & it keeps blowing! Also, where do I get replacesment gaskets for it? _________________ Auto Vitesse, gonna be a beast! |

If Rimmers' don't have them maybe Wins & Co. I only have the pipes! |

Sorted, Rimmer's have them(even though the tiny little copper olives/gaskets are £2 each!).....
Now, all I need to do is get this manifold!
Are they easy to take off? I'm a tad worried about snapping the studs when I undo them.... _________________ Auto Vitesse, gonna be a beast! |

I have never done them before but when I was at the other end of the car putting on the new tailpipe I used a spray called Plus Gas (or something like that) as I found it better than WD40 when undoing the bolts on the brackets. I would imagine the heat and possibly corrosion would make it a pig of a job as they may seem to be glued on?
And of course you have to play careful as you don't want the bolts to shear and remain in the block. |

Hi chris
I am around the Leeds/bradford area PM me for more details - as the manifold is off the TP Vitesse it won't be much (it is still in good order though, but I will check tonight) |
