Finished a manifold this morning. You CAN open out the 998-type manifold to
fit an HIF44 onto a cast BMC dual manifold that gives you the exact same
exhaust manifold as the original Spridget 1098. If for any reason someone
wanted to use an HIF( of any size) with a standard manifold design, then it
can be done cheaply. TUV regulations could be bypassed? Looks perfectly
original to the untrained eye. Also, Ambassadors can supply a very neat ram
pipe for the HIF44. Bolts onto the standard filter flange and gives a neat
solution to the problem. I have put a K&N onto the Ambassador carb to make
a very neat arrangement.
(The usual applies on the JPEG pictures....I have them if you want them)
