I was meaning the 1500 with the twin pipes.  

It's peculiar that the Spitfire has complaints about this system.  The
reason I say that is because other vehicles use nearly identical systems
with no problems.  I suspect there is a face matching problem on those
Spitfires that blow gaskets.

Hi Nolan,
    Is that the 1300 UK manifold with the single downpipe or the 1500
with the twin pipes? The latter is extremely troublesome with downpipe
gaskets blowing every 3000 miles or so. I've no idea how efficient it
is, just a warning to anyone who's tempted to seek out a UK spec
manifold,
