[mk1mexico]

Far too low mate

im thinking that now so what you recon the bast way to get it higher is? or am i going to have cut and weld the manifold?

[mk1mexico]

looks like you have a 1600 manifold on a 1300 ??

i was told it was a 1300 one but looks like it aint now well whos got a 1300 manifold for me please

[bomber1]

if u can do it ur self then cut n weld what u got. then u can get it nice n tight under the car

Failing that mate just give it a few good whacks with a big hammer

well just got back and got to weld it all back up again its low but its not the lowest point so im happy for now but it will be altered

I rem when I fitted a 1600 manifold on my 1300 (knew I was putting a 1600 in soon) was a nightmare! Couldn’t get on the drive in reverse hit everything, grounded out on something and when I got out and looked couldn’t work out what it caught lol! Most of the problem was the clamp. I got it chopped around so now its about the same as the chassis rail and not had a problem

[keeh]

something to bear in mind, you will need to size one end up to fit over the end closest to the manifold if you are going to cut and weld, if you cant do this then ask an engineering firm, its a 2 minute job, but it needs to be done to allow the air to flow more freely without getting caught on weld oking into the exhaust

not sure what you mean mate it all fits its just to low so i have cut the manifold now and its ok and the welding aint a problem

[keeh]

where it is cut, one part will need to overlap another, have a drawing for you

 

 

where exactly will you be cutting it, i think by you could probable lose those 2 diagonal pieces and but a shorter bent piece and weld that on instead

[old skool freestyler]

the cut is on a straight bit to kink it up a little so its more of a slice than actualy cutting it and ill just fill the gap up with weld for now as im having a engine built atm its not to much of a problem just need to get it threw a mot
