Racetorations at http://www.racetorations.co.uk seems to have them in two
flavors (RCT77) which they call TR5 - 6 S/S 6 - 1 Fast Road and Race
Supersports manifold. I don't know the difference between Fast Road and
Race, except that I think the Race version has larger tubes, but these guys
claim to use computer numerical control machining (welding, too?) to reduce
the variations in manufacturing tolerances or so they say. They go for 265
BP, and, no, I don't own stock in the company. Maybe they're a reseller for
Rimmer, but let's hope not.
