Bike carb manifold for Zetec
Has anyone bought and used one of these and if so what are they like?

It`s a plastic manifold but a cheaper option to a custom made jobbie. Would bike carbs fit straight on without respacing them?

The runners look perpendicular to the manifold face. To be OK for all the bike stuff I've seen they need to be angled in a bit, so I would say
from what I can see there that the carbs or throttle bodies would indeed need respacing

think they generally need respacing to match the spacing of the manifold with carbs unless you use long hose connections which is not great, at £150 +
the cost of respacing the carbs not far off a Bogg manifold price

I spoke to Bogg Bros the other day and they quoted me £400 for a manifold and bike carbs jetted to match my engine. That seemed a bit steep compared
to what others have paid in the last 6 months.

in that case i take back what i said, i would buy a blank manifold plate for £20 and make one, ive got a zetec one with respaced zx9 carbs, pump and
omex 2d ignition ive never fitted as gone throttle bodies i might sell if interested

That is the st170 manifold. Theyr often on the bay for less than that.
You dont need to carbs jetted and supplied by boggs. Get some carbs and the manifold made and jet them yourself.
