quality manifold from fastdan / danst engineering
I had Dan make me a manifold for my car, was a long time in planning, measuring, etc due to the tight space to fit.
I was thinking I'd end up having to take the car to Dan to have him measure up etc, or else I'd end up measuring something wrong
In the end, I measured 3 times, Dan was able to send me some drawings to work with so I could compare and double check my measuring
Then he send me a drawing of my manifold so I could check it all against the car before having it made. He tacked it together and sent it so I could
check it all fit and adjust if required. It needed angled up by 2 degrees to clear the pedal box safely (theres a chassis tube 25mm or so above the
air box, and pedal box 25mm below) which he did and welded fully.
I must've been a pain in the back side 
Quality product, thank you Dan!
Now a few pics. I know the whole car needs tidying up, once I know everything works I think I'll strip it all down and rebuild, cleaning and
painting for final assembly, including redoing the hoses that hold the carbs on

Very nice :-)
Where did the airbox come from ?

Not sure what the airbox is from really. I got it off someone on here a couple of years ago. Its fibreglass, was orange gel coat, and had a weber
sticker on it.
So best guess is weber, but thats all I know. Has imperial threads in the screws that hold it to the back plate too, so I guess its quite old
Absolutely fine Dan, use all the pics you want  , its just very difficult to get good pics of anything on my car for some reason
Edit: just went out for a look. Ended up refitting everything, new hoses, new studs, refitted the coolant hoses, throttle cable, the whole lot. And it
now fits a whole lot better! Clears the alternator to allow full adjustment (and belt change without taking carbs off!) And is exactly where I hoped
it would sit

Dan did one for me a few years back and I'm still really impressed by it.
Definitely recommended!
