Scimher Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 ..I've got a 1200 convertible with a 1300 Dolomite engine (SU carb.) I have access to a stainless back box - which I understand are common to the 13/60 & 1200 according to the part nos......but I need a front system.Can anyone confirm that the 13/60 front pipe(s) will do the job & which fitting-kit I need to order, as I presume the 1200 one will have the wrong manifold or flange gasket.....(There can't be too much difference between the fitting kits, can there, apart from that....??)My car probably dates from Oct./Nov. 64 & was reg. beginning of Feb. '65..........Many thanks, in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you are using a Herald 13/60 exhaust manifold then the 13/60 exhaust should fit. If using the Dolomite exhaust manifold then I'm not sure as I don't know whether it is different from the Herald one!Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimher Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks Nick...All I know is that it's angled back rather than vertical such as the 1200 manifold flange is.......(I think I'll post the question in the Dolomite section asking if the 1300 Dol. man. is same as 13/60....)

heraldcoupe Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Dolomite 1300 and Herald 13/60 manifold is thew same shape. Whether they have the same part number I con't know, but the 13/60 downpipe will bolt right up to it.If it has a Dolomite 1500 manifold then it's a different matter - this has twin pipes at the join to the downpipe, same as a Spitfire 1500.Cheers,Bill.

Scimher Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 ..Thanks Bill - 13/60 pipe it is then.I presume the 13/60 fitting kit then, rather than a 1200 kit with a 13/60 manifold gasket...??? Slight difference in bore size although the same back-box is listed for both, I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yep, that's pretty much it,Cheers,Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry not got back to you before now. I'm near Leek in Staffs. Are you saying that you've got a spare S/Steel system (or at least, the front pipe{s})??

Scimher Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 ...Anybody know how I can contact Andy Connor..(in case he doesn't see my above reply......as the exhaust situation is crucial now, because the car is at my pals unit having some work done prior to going in for the MOT? If he has the relevant bit(s), I can drive over to pick them up or arrange a meet....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
