Please can you put your rough location in your profile.
It helps others formulate suggestions when you need help.
Its no good me suggesting Smiths of Lands End, when you live in John O'Groats
Cheers

Sorry bout my lazy profile info!
I'm in Northern Ireland so it will prob involve a courier no matter what, everything I buy normally has to cross the Irish sea.
I'm after a manifold to fit a Cosworth YB on either R1s or GSXR 750s.
I'm sure this isn't as common as the pinto conversion so it wont be an off the shelf jobby.
I can make a copy of head where the manifold attaches and the angle its at.
Anyone up for the challenge?
:cool
I'll pm your suggestions too.
Thanks

Altiss... more expensive than Boggs, but you get what you pay for!
It's Evolution Baby!

heres a few pics
Will prob get a slight port to open up the inlet ports and the valve seats will get a little work too.
need a take off for servo but no need for water housing like pinto.

I've heard that saying before, but it doesn't make sense wherever you hear it-
Let's suppose 2 people make the same thing, but it looks a bit different, cost's them the same to make too. So one of them decides on a
price, then all the other has to do is charge more, and tell people they get what they pay for!
I'll go along with "you don't get more than you pay for" but the idea that something that is more expensive is automatically
better is, on that basis, worth about -5p
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

I dont doubt boggs in the slightest! They're stuff is amazing. But it costs. I'm trying to find someone who would like to compete with
their price, I'm sure someone is willing for the work and the money.
If not I'll prob end up with a boggs mani anyways.
Just giving someone else the chance.
