Mk3 Inlet manifold sandwich plate (Zetec)
slingshot2000 - 26/11/10 at 08:05 PM

As headed!
I have the chance of a Griffinn inlet manifold, but need to raise some funds to buy it. Some Aussie has somehow found out that I have a HO RS1800 inlet manifold and would like to buy it. This could help me buy the Griffing manifold, HOWEVER, the Aussie also needs the sandwich plate and some other parts. If I agree to send these half-way around the world, will I be able to replace them without breaking my piggy-bank ?
Are the sandwich plates etc common to other Zetec fitments?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jon

They only fitted them to "some" fiesta's and escorts. The Ho ones have bigger ports and are even harder to find on there own than as part of a full mani' . The fuel rail was common to all. They changed for the blacktops.

Keep an eye on ebay. They still crop up and some times cheap.

whats he offered ?

You Dont need the sandwich plate for the griffin just the fuel rail. This can be got from a 2.0 silver top.

There were some on eBay brand new last week. About £40 IIRC.

There you go! Dunno if they're the right ones for HO though.
