top mount ET manifold progress

[CNHSS1]

ok bit more progress......
ive finished the majority of the welding and fabrication now, just needs all internal welds tidying up with die grinder but my compressor is crap so gonna have to borrow another to finish the job. Once thats done, i will set about making a 'cradle' brace from the rocker cover and spare head casting bolt holes to suspend the assembly with a couple of rosejoints. Its essentially to allow movement with the heat expansion, but help to stop it cracking. Google for Bailey cosworth turbo mount and it'll make more sense. Should stop the stainless cracking as easily. I intend to wrap the manifold in exh wrap, from the manifold to the tailpipe pretty well. i know many people arent fans of the stuff, but i like it and it keeps the heat energy in the manifold and outta the engine bay (and cockpit as exhaust runs inside the car with false floor and out the passenger door!) which on a little fibreglass car isnt funny
heres some more pics
