Pinto - Weber manifold

[Kmp]

Hi all,

i am looking for a good condition pinto inlet manifold for twin 40 Webers, have seen some manifolds which cater for 40/45's so that would be a good option.

thanks

i could do with one that is known to allow battery to stay in front, anyone know which one i need or if theres one to avoid ? cheers

I have just bought a sandwich plate type which apparently means you can retain the battery, he didn't know the make of it though and I haven't received it to look at it myself.

Thanks

is that the short billet type that a lot of kit cars seem to use ? i have seen them on "normal" manifolds, i think the HiFlo ones but not seen one come up for sale recently.

It's just a 20mm(ish) thick plate that connects the carbs to the head, you can also still retain the brake servo (he says) I would send you a pic but photo bucket is poo. I asked on a mk1 and 2 parts Facebook page for one and ended up buying this manifold and a normal one which was only used for a rolling road, it was my mistake as I never knew the sandwich plate one exsisted and got offered it by someone. I misssd out on a normal one on eBay which sold for nearly £90, bought both of these for £110 inc delivery lol.

Maybe worth asking on an escort page on Facebook? Tbf I have asked on here atleast 3 times for one and Facebook twice before anyone offered anything.

Thanks

i have doubts that the thin one will fit tbh, the carbs need to go back and up.

[Kmp]

Oh no, someone replied on the Facebook advert and said you can fit them with the battery there so I have bought it for that reason.... :-(

If you find a inlet that will work, can you pm me so i can see what it is meant to look like lol

Thanks
Kris

maybe it fits regardless as its so short ?
