Just spotted this, and its still at a sesnsible price.

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

They work well on a Rover V8. See Clives (Snuggs here on LCB) efforts with his Luego Viento on this page, about 4/5 the way down.
Look for the Yellow Viento!

Just in case anyone is looking for a set.

As said nowt to do with me, I just saw it and thought of LCB!

Use it as a pattern to make one and resell it

Dont worry Lads, I all ready got one of those... Otherwise I would be keeping VERY quiet about it

Coo... they are like London Busses... dont see one for ages, then several come along.

Here is another one.
Not sure the £129 starting price is that sensible. Its should make that anyway.

They are also no better than a pair of standard SU's with regard to producing power on an RV8 - The reason they are rare is that they dont work particularly well and therefore didnt sell.

Thankfully for sellers there are still plenty of buyers out there that think more must be better.

The first one is currently at £125 with 9 bids (6d5hrs to go) and the second is at £129 with 1 bid (6d10hrs to go).

I paid over £200 for mine and that was without carbs , but it was new and unused.

FFS... one of those sets is at £310, and the bidding has the rest of the day to go!
I am in the wrong business!

I am with Andy on this in a different life ( before Wife and kids ) was a grase monkey and co driver for off road buggy 3.9 rover v8 we looked into these and people that trailed them found little improvment in performance and a bugger to get them to run right though that was a few years ago .

PS My plenum is this one
