That's a pretty wild setup.....Why would you use 1/2 of two Webber's?

The idea was that there was a straight run from the weber throat to the inlet port . Standard the weber throat's spacings are narrower than the spacings of the two inlet ports on a mini head .

This is for 1 1/4 SUs.....about 8" long, probably not fit a mini but should
fit the MG 1100. Has the name SONIC cast on and seems to be well made.
Anybody that knows anything about it, I would like to know.

Sonic was a company in Sydney (Brookvale, I think)- they made extractors and other speed equipment back in the 60s.

A bit of a thread revival. I've been through some boxes in the shed to see what I had.

Factory 12A661, from a Cooper or Cooper S, I think I got it on an 1100 Moke.

Image

Speed-o-motive. I don't know much about this, I think its Australian. Looks like its for 1 1/4" SUs
Image

This is an AEA 337 fitted with a pair of H1 (1 1/8") SUs off a Mk1 bugeye Sprite. Its angle is a bit low, I doubt it would fit a mini.
Image

Finally, my favourite, a period Alexander Tuning manifold fitted with the Sprite H1s. I'm planning to use this on my Traveller.

How does that Alexander manifold go about the exhaust manifold flanges?

I'm not sure, but a lot of them you see have had the ends filed down. I guess it depends on how closely the exhaust manifold meets the stud.
