zetec inlet flange
Hi all,
After the demise of Locostparts.net, a victim of their own success..
Where is the cheapest place to a zetec inlet manifold flange in steel..?
I've browsed the net for while and can't really find anything, other than
http://throttle-bodies.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_26&products_id=64
but at £44 seems a bit steep compared to the old locostparts prices.. and they don't say what material they are cut from..
directions...

That looks a great price to me in all honesty.
The full manifold prices look good too. Especially given the straight runners and space the carbs to suit approach - which we all know is the correct
way....

Made me own. traced the gasket shape onto a piece of 5mm steel and cut it out with a jigsaw.
Looks crap, works perfectly.

As above. Cut the outside shape with an angle grinder and the holes with a holesaw. Two close togther to make and oval then finished with die grinder.
Not as good as CNC cut one but definately cheaper. In fairness though I would have bought one if locostparts had still been selling them.
