Inlet manifold

Post by Declan_Burns »

I have bought this inlet manifold to do some experimenting with a HIF 38 carb. What do I need to connect the hose from the brake servo? Is there an adaptor available or do I have to make up something? What thread is used? Any help appreciated.

It looks like an MG Metro manifold, from what i remember there is a "banjo" that will allow you to connect up to your brake servo. I would have thought the banjo would be shared across the entire metro range so it might be worth looking in a scrap yard.

Yes, at least I bought it as a metro manifold.
I found the following on the minispares website and I think it might fit directly instead of trying to source a banjo:
There was also a thread on the minifinity website saying the thread is 5/8" UNF but I'm not sure.

Yes - pretty sure it is 5/8 UNF. Just use a stub connector - or get the banjo.
