Allisport and a few others tried tubular manifolds and they all fail - crack, break, fracture etc.

Stainless doesn't like the heat loading and will fatigue and fail.
Hence the blanking plates etc are made of mild steel not stainless (which fails).

Mods, can this line of posts be consolidated into a new thread, or is it OK to keep it going here?
Keeping mind what Tombie said re s/steel. I reckon it could be made to fit if the face was machined. Dunno what it would do to the strength.Quote:

Would you be able to take some photos? I've been thinking of doing the same.Quote:
