well, I have just taken my usual two weeks off to get some more paint by numbers done and get ready for billing, all was well till yesterday . while fixing a exhaust leak at the manifold it broke in two when removed !!! see images, as this is about the only part I don't have spares of. it kinda blows me out the water for billing & the rest of the season unless one comes up on e bay none on at the moment, took it to andy 351 to try and weld NO Go. its need to be the same type of essex manifold to match the exhaust system I made for it. later Granada, poss scimitar!! joys of hotrodding deano |

drama queen HUH!LOL so with the best intensions and help from fellow rodders , mick , mick and nigel, I have failed and none of the manifolds will fit nor can I adapt them too fit, so we wait for one to appear on e bay, or see what can be done @ 351 by andy when and if.
plan B may have to be put into action for billing now
