Will a midget LCB manifold fit a 1098 minor?
Thanks

dont think so, I think it fouls the chassis leg.

No. That was the first 'performance' mod I ever bought and was a failure

If you can get it cheap buy it! its extremely easy to modify it for use on a minor if you have a welder. I did that on mine before i converted to 4age running gear. Worked great, actually i sold that on eBay a few months ago i should have asked if someone on here wanted it first :o

How? Heat and bending, or what?

no, each primary needs to be turned approximately 90 degrees via U-bends bought at your local speed shop. Look at my 4age postings and you can see how i built my header for that applicaton, its the same idea.

It's really not very hard at all. Welding the thin walled tubing is a pain though

If anyone successfully manages this without too much hassle do you think you could start 'knocking them out' to order?
I'd probably go for one myself depending on cost. (cant be more expensive than maniflow ones!)
