Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has a spare one they might consider selling, perhaps from a inter rebuild? ;)
Even damaged is ok. not even worried about which engine its for!

I'm going to put it on an ecotec engine, so the flange is to be cut off and a new one welded on, so XE or zetec wanted as the spacing itself should be the same!

thanks!

Would it get through an SVA though? I reckon you'd be better off getting one of these:

How's the build going, by the way? Any news/pics?

oops, a very good point mate, meant to say, its just the manifold/headers i'm after, I'll need to do the rest of the system to make it quiet(er) :)

no real new at the minute unfortunately, just been sorting brake lines really. got all them made up and they're looking good. found an alloy fuel tank that was the right size for £50 off ebay, so that was handy :) ended up getting the 18 spline half shafts from SHP, but still not found a suitable diff. didn't think it was too likely anyone would have a LSD going cheap :laugh: so working out what to do with my standard open diff. engine is sort of in, it doesn't sit quite straight though, so might need some new engine mounts in place of my 2nd hand ones

ooh nice one! that would be perfect if he's got it thanks! :)
i have just bought a manifold for a mk1 escort to cut up and modify, but a whole system would be good
