See now I thought carbs at first but the bolting pattern doesn't seem to suit carbs at all, altho I've never bolted any up I guess, I dont *think* it suits them? :confused:

More info needed

What engine is it for ?

As above downdraft manny for webbers :) seen a few but not for a nova if thats what there for lol

Downdrafts sit vertically, as per many a vee-dub

it is indeed a downdraft carb manifold for a 1.2/1.3. although i spose you could bolt TB's on if you really wanted to lol

On a nova, the bonnet would never shut lol, where you had that from luke?
