My car does run Webers.
I simply did bolt the Webers to the manifold and use shortened Overdrive
springs as spacer so that the Webers can move it the engine does start to
vibrate. The installation of the carbs is flexible. Maybe that prevent it
from breaking?
The manifold comes from Triumph Tune.

Betreff: [Fot] cracked manifold

Family, found cracks on all four intake ports at the flange, one of the 5/16
fine thread support rods had also broke. Does anyone have welded tabs on
their
headers for these rods or do you run without them?? Is there to much weight
hanging out there?? Never have had an issue before but i don't think i have
had the engine that hot before. Did my rods keep things from moving around
from expansion thus causeing the cracks. The rods are adjusted not to push
nor
to pull.Any input??......Thanks Mark P
