If judging a car, then my first requirement would always be:  Did it =
leave the factory in England with the headers or other whatcha ma call =
it?  Otherwise it might be a dealer installed option but mostly I think =
headers were installed by the owners after homologation for SCCA racing =
or because they just helped the power output a smidge? Does anyone have =
stats on how many left the factory completion with headers as we are =
talking about?

Don't know about the LAT 73 headers, but "other" headers of the period =
were usually satin black/semi gloss black from the manufacturer.

Brian,

That is really a " refer to the judging guidelines" question.

=20

1.  My personal opinion is while the coating is preferable as it =
protects from rust and can offer advantages of reduced engine bay temps =
and keeps heat in the exhaust ports..  It isnt stock... If you coat to =
appear original finish its up to the judges to spot...  If you have =
these coated and another car has them painted .. I'd pin you the =
point... =20

=20

2. The LAT brochure shows what appears to be a satin black finish on =
them.. But its a B/W brochure..  And..  Maybe they painted them for the =
sales images .... So take that for what its worth.. So if ceramic =
coating a satin black Would be the first choice...

=20

Just my .02..

Brochure Image attached.

Happy New Year everyone,

=20

I'm purchasing a set of reproduction LAT 73 headers and want to have =
them thermal coated.

=20

Two questions.

1. Will I get dinged at concours (stock class) for coating the headers?

2. If not, what color were the original LAT 73 headers?

=20

I have to pony up the cash for the headers and coating soon, so timely =
feedback will be most appreciated.

Cheers
