That's great to know. Personally, if there was some NOS on someone's
shelf, I might spring for it. But to go through what Ramon went through
all over again does not seem worth the effort. However, for posterity,
maybe you could take some measurements of it and describe it in detail.
Or, is that really not of any help to someone who wants to reproduce it? I
imagine the description would be reproduced in every Alpine club newsletter
across the globe. Rick did think it was the best manifold available.

RE>>Pickard's of Melbourne & SAOC 1/6/98
I have an original Lynx single Weber Sidedraft intake manifold from
Australia. It even says Alpine on it. It is for my car and not for sale
but I might be tempted to loan it out to someone if they were going to have
it reproduced. I also have a similar manifold for a Hillman Hunter but I
do not think it was made by Lynx. Tom

Jarrid mentions that the manifold was made by Lynx. From what I
understand, they have gone out of business and disappeared with the molds.
Maybe Pickard's has, or knows of, some old stock.

MFGR is Lynx manifolds.
