Can anyone tell me exactly why the above wont fit a Minor. Are the problems terminal or can they be overcome?

I think the problem was the downpipe won't fit, it's at another angle. But for the rest, I don't know

It's because of where the minor exhaust exits the engine compartment. Midget exhaust goes straight down then back. Minor one has to move sideways towards inner wing then back.

As I said to you in PM, and PO above has conformed. I expect it can be 'made' to fit - but lots of cutting and welding. My own plan is to modify one of my spare Mini lcbs to make it fit.

I modified a midget manifold turning all the pipes out towards the exhaust hole with u-bends. Works really good ans dounds good uncorked. Plus it uses a collector so it works better than the LCB one made for the minor
