Taa for the weber 42 ideas. The main consideration for them is that I have 1
already and I can get another, and that I thought 45s would be too big. I've
spoken to the weber specialists here in NZ and they assured me that parts
are all available. But I'll double check this, as I don't want to get caught
out. I haven't heard many problems with the 40s though as far as power goes,
it's just finding some not too dear in sound condition.
I've seen two different manifolds here, one has sharpish kink in the middle
of it and the other is straight. I've checked and both will fit OK. The
straight one is aftermarket with decent length and diameter tubes, but new
and dear. Any ideas?
