Inlet manifold for webers on a red top

[white2lSR]

which is the best manifold to go for? I know some people have struggled with the clearance of the alternator and i would like to avoid this if possible.
So which one should i go for?

Cheers.

Only Sbd(jenvey) do them iirc.
And it seems the latest Jenvey ones give problems with the alternator position.

DONT get the one i have, (new jenvey one), what a farcking pain in the ass it is!

[white2lSR]

Id put money on the fact that everyone that lists them buys them from sbd/jenvey, and then sells them on....

[John]

Iirc phil sutton had a manifold from somewhere that fitted fine too, that wasn't sbd/jenvey. Might be worth dropping him a pm to see where he had it from.
If i could figure the alternator situation easily (when i have time Lol) then i'd say get the jenvey manifold as it's cracking.

what is the problem you are having with the alternator?

[Adam]

It sits where the carb wants to lol

[John]

With the new jenvey inlet, the o/s carb totally fouls the alternator, it make sit way too low. The alternator would have to be dropped approx 1-1 1/2 inches in order to make it clear, meaning i'd have to lose most of the chassis leg. Imo the front mount alternator is the easiest solution.
