That's true; you're absolutely right. The 12/50 exhaust manifold has a
longer and bigger outlet (same headpipe gasket as the 948 Herald TC or the
Spitfire 4 Mk.1).

Right again, AFAIK. Are you putting conv. doors on the saloon or saloon
doors on the conv.? I'm curious, in that most every saloon door I've got
has some rot (tinworm) at the bottom, whereas most of my convertible
doors (the ones I'd expect to rot more severely) are just fine! Is rust
the problem you're dealing with here?
