http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/ is the link to a place that does proper alignment. They set up everything. Not as cheap as the local tyre place, but transforms the handling if there is anything out. Clive

I understand some people have used the late saloon manifold, and had some alterations to get it to fit. Not sure if they cut and welded the tubes or mikked the faces. That manifold is much better than the GT6 version, if you can get it to fit! Worth experimenting with air intake too, ie getting a cold air feed rather than just bolt on K+N's. Still headscratching on this one! And the 6>3>1 manifold is the one to have, but thats still under (hot) debate as to which one etc. Best bet is to get it set up well on the rollers, get the suspension properly set up with optiflex alignment and have lots of fun!

I have one a simple conversion. I tapped the existing holes in the manifold to 12mm and cut a thread on some 12mm ali rod. Wound it in/cut and filed flat. Then just redrilled new holes and tapped for the HS6 carbs. Much neater than the adapters. As for gas flowing, I scribed a mark inside the carb gaskets, and used a "cone drill" to grind the manifold out and get rid of the step. I never bothered polishing any further, or attempting any other flowing. I know Chris Witor has worked on saloon manifolds, but I do not know if he has any knowledge of "our" manifolds. He is honest about these things if you ask him! Clive
