hi all,

Does anyone have one of these spare that i can test fitness with?

my metro turbo manifold is giving me the craps and i want to find another manifold to see if it fits a little better.

Different brands tend to be a bit different.
I fitted the MiniSpeed ones which were promoted for the 1&3/4. These put the carby close to the fire wall and I had to modify the float bowl spacer to get the bowl level. K&N conical airfilter just fitted OK without mods to the standard firewall (roundnose).
And I recently used a Minispares one. Ports did not line up with the head or the carb by about 2mm, but there was a little more room for the air filter and the standard float bowl and spacer were at the correct angle.
Air flow on the Minispeed looked better than the Minispares but who knows without proper testing.
Minispares had a little more room for the extractors and it was easier to get to the manifold nuts.
If you want ease I would use Minispares. If you want performance I would use Minispeed (but I can't quantify this).
These were both with the HS6.

The last Minispares one I bought, the manifold ports and studs were misaligned 3mm >>, I had to weld one end of both flanges, machine their width again, then recut the stud `holes' on the mill.
We should NOT have to remanufacture NEW parts to fit properly.... :evil:
