I think if you do a search you will find that, thats a site user trying to make a few pennies to fund his beer belly..... oopppss.......... sorry
thinking out loud
I meant to say fund his locost build.
...I think you might be right (nothing wrong with that though IMHO)
There are also better manifolds available from other forum members who can re-space the carbs for you as required as part of the service

no your quite right nick, nothing at all wrong with that, if anyone can help anyone else out and make a few pounds out of it then everyone is
happy.
Now I have the ali tig set , I have pondered making a few ali inlet manifolds to suit throttle bodies myself.
..and will you be embarking on "registered trader" status

Cant remember who it was selling them, but they said they would do one with a curved tract instead of the angled one, which cant be good for flow.

Manifolds
The manifolds on ebay use 2 tubes welded at an angle to each other, this is not good for air flow as air does not like sharp corners.
Manifolds produced with a smooth curve on the inlet will always give better air flow.

manifolds
i was going to make mine like that
and then flood braze into the inside and
smooth out with a flap wheel
when you start this journey
you think it will be done in " no " time but then " no " turns into a " bloody " long time

ooooer lots of talk about me the smooth piped ones are in process spaced to carbs they will be on ebay shortly along with crossflow rover v8 and
vauxhall but the ones ive sold with the welded angular pipes have been sold to 9 people so far of which i believe only 2 have put them on there car
but have them set up and running nicely so air does turn corners i guess. and thanks for all your kind words
