Exhaust manifold identity

Hi all,
Found this manifold in my garrage and cannot remeber what its off, pretty sure it will fit on a minor/midget but there may be a problem with the direction the pipe takes. It also appears to be a slightly bigger bore than the norm so was wondering if it could be used to improve my existing (standard) system if fitted with larger bore exhaust. It has mowog and the numbers 12G 420 08 stamped on it, the diamiter of the exit is 35mm (internal) and 50mm (external).[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

won't really work on a minor as it sweeps forward, not back.

i believe midget manifolds swept forward for the downpipe to come forwards before going under the car.

Looks like a midget one to me.

Hello Welshrat,

measure the pitch of the two fixing holes and check against your engine, however, it looks too big to me, 'B' series engined car possibly?

Thank you for the posts, it is a midget manifold, just came across an identical one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110769345644? ... 1423.l2649
