thats very impressive indeed. do you know if they do them for baby xe's?

I wouldn't like to say personally, but I'd give them a call and see, the bloke is very helpful indeed.

That manifold looks nicely done. Much better than the one i had.

I bet they dont do them for baby xe's, hardly any company that makes stuff for 20xe's makes the same for 16xe's for some reason. Even though the ports etc are similar.

Heres a few more pictures to show the fitting against the head and carbs etc...

I checked the spacing of the holes on the flange against a gasket first and they were cock on. When the manifold is bolted up to the head theres a slight step on two of the inlet ports, but I can just open the ports on the head slightly so as it matches the manifold perfectly, however I am really happy with how well it fits. In regards to the carb end of the manifold the spacing is out by about a mm on one or two of the pipes, which again isn't an issue as they mount with rubbers anyway.

All in all very very happy with it :thumb:
