Does anyone have use for a pair of +8 exhaust manifolds and downpipes of early eighties vintage? Old but serviceable. For collection near Cheltenham or other arrangement.

Thanks Tim, but I'm now drawing state pension!

I have a pair of early +8 Moss box Manifolds (cast iron ) with some fairly new stainless down pipes and balance pipe the ones that go through the chassis . But when I fitted them to Gizzard I had to re cut the holes in the chassis and weld up the old holes
Although I was assured that they were correct and would fit !!!!!!
So you would probably have to try them first
if you want ppm me with an address I can send them

Hi Tim,
They are tubular-standard +8 from that era exiting through the wing valence.

Thanks Bruce,
It's possible I will have a use for them in the future so I may as well be the new custodian.
Can I collect them on Sunday 2nd November on may way back to Dorset from Leicestershire?
Regards, Tim.
