Clark, looks like you are swaying towards Rimmer from your web page. Do you
actually have one? I did have the system in my hands in the UK and it seemed
pretty good quality and all lined up great with teh gasket and the twin SU
inlet manifold I now have. They messed up my order though, hence why I don't
have it in the US yet. I don't expect any problems fitting it except for the
old studs/nuts on the block and they are manifold/header independent.

The fit problems of the cheaper ones has been going on for about 30 years
now, and I wouldn't expect them to fix it now. The 4-pipes straight down to
a 90 degree bend headers are just plain junk. Stay away from them. There is
some discussion on the Rimmer header on my webpage in the Spitfire section,
but I still haven't installed it on my car.
