I don't think Waterloo makes these-- it looks like a product from a
British company called Hi Gear. Pierce Manifold, Gilroy, CA, sells
the same unit. See:
http://www.piercemanifolds.com/newproducts.htm
I just bought one for my '64 B from Pierce. Waterloo had a
promotional price on this item at one time, but I believe Pierce is
now less expensive. I went there because Pierce is just down the
road-- a really nice drive over Hecker Pass to Gilroy-- and because
picking it up was much cheaper than having it shipped. No offence
to Waterloo--Sonoma County is a great drive, too, just farther.
As a side note, the new crossmember supplied is really beefy and
heavy. Mike Pierce mentioned trying to get Hi Gear to make an
aluminum version, either here or in GB, eliminating about 20 pounds
and a lot of the shipping cost from overseas. I hear that aluminum
work is more expensive in Britain, but perhaps that's because of the
added syllable
