Here are some pictures of an old inlet manifold ive unearthed in the garage, It doesnt fit the A series, as the inlets are too far apart, and appears to be suitable for a HS2 carburetor. any ideas as to what it fits? It appears to be have one inlet longer than the other.

Oooo. that's a curious one. My attention keeps being drawn to that bar with the adjustable arms that look like rockers. I can't believe the arm rotates though; the aluminium casting and steel rod would make a poor bearing. The casting is finned whick suggests it's handling forced induction. Is it part of a supercharger installation for a 'V' engine?

Its a thing or beauty - how about polishing it and useing it as a candle holder!!

the rod does rotate, I assume its part of a throttle linkage. Yes the fins do give it an unusual appearance, im wondering if its an aftermarket manifold, for something... would like it to go to someone who would make use of it, preferably not as a candleholder!! I will measure it in a little more detail perhaps. dam server still offline though
