I have been thinking about adapting the originals but i believe there cast :(

was also thinking about using some pipe and shaping it to weld to some box the right size. then milling out some 8mm flat and welding it to the box, mill it flat and see what happens :?

Dont no if it will last long thou :roll:

this is your problem then :lol: do both exhausts foul the plate :?: and how far out are they got any pics with the manifolds and plate fitted :?:

i suppose cutting the flanges of the end of the existing manifolds and rewelding them at an angle is out of the question :?:

manifolds are off. will send you some pics :wink:

Would get one with the plate but its still holding my engine in :lol:

did look at cutting the manifolds fitting an angle piece and re welding the flanges.

I will have a go at adapting the originals. if not it will be box section and pipe :shock: :roll:

there not 24v cossy but gives the idea :idea:

they dont look too difficult to make - you can buy the bent tube and the 3-1 collecter piece. also note the jig there being set up on :idea: we could make one of those :idea: would be nice to have one (well 2) post it around the country for all the forum members who are doing 24v conversions :D
