Surely the MkII manifold was a tubular item rather than cast? I have several of
the MkI Spitifre and Herald TC types which have distinct ports cast to match
each port in the head, plus my later MkIII & MkIV manifolds are similarly
arranged. The only tubular manifold I have for an 1147 is a combined
inlet/outlet type to accomodate a Weber 40 DCOE, so hardly a Stanpart original.
Cheers,
Bill.
