frenchiemk2 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Hi Found this header for sale in France. Seller does not know which car it's from. Maybe Triumph but what car exactly? Says made of steel. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 If Triumph, and it looks like it may be, it will be MK1 2litre with the ports in a row. 6-1 so likely to be a full race one, but does not look like a quality one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glang Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 And surely the face has to be flat to seal? That one looks like some pipes protrude through the flange.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one looks like some pipes protrude through the flange.... They are clearly (I'd say) home made, welded on the face side and need grinding back for, as glang says, a flat face. Better welded on the other side. And as TSM says, a 6-1 is a pure race model, that only assists extraction at full revs, 6K+. But to be useful the primaries must be EXACTLY equal length, and these aren't - the three forward tubes go around the outside of the three backward to the collector, so probably at least an inch longer. It needs work and probably will never be of any benefit. Unless you can get for a song, I'd let it go. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
