Thank you
It was certainly made for the car, with long sweeps entering and exiting the chassis. The steel manifold flange to the head was done individually to each down pipe instead of a single flange, this procedure is harder to do by the fabricator but makes life easier to replace or repair individual downpipes and the collector looks pretty standard to some of our GT and single seater race cars. This manifold was made to give more torque.

We used Mike the Pipe, Jeff Howe at West Kingsdown and the last few years Matt at Simpson of Langley (Stainless Steel experts), mainly London and Home Counties boys.
On the end of the silencer Pete, is there an entry plate to service the insides of the unit and how is it attached as Mike the Pipe use to weld small brackets inside to the silencer wall for the fixing of the plate and Howe use to fold over inwards the end of the silencer and drill holes for the end plate to fix too. Matt, well his Dad at Simpson uses Alan Bolts to fix to an internal plate and now we only use stainless steel and the pipes are all detachable slippers.

By the way I have noticed the engine block is painted blue, Hart painted all their blocks blue.
