Wanted VVC / Alloy Lower Inlet Manifolds

[revilla]

Looking for a couple of these please. Don't need the plenum chambers, just the lower manifolds. From EU2 or EU3, with or without IAT ports, clean or scruffy ... just so long as they are useable and the little ball valve in the coolant bleed pipe hasn't been knocked out!

Thanks, Andrew.

Andrew,

I've still got a complete VVC engine on the loft I can butcher for maifold and VVC mechs. :-p

I know Regin, you keep offering thank you ... seems a bit too much to pull an engine apart for it though! I've ended up with a couple of good plenum chambers with all the fittings and no lower manifolds to go with them. People do seem to think it's a good idea to knock the ball valves out! They do come up for sale every now and again.

Andrew,

I don't think it's too much and will happily strip it for you. I am fairly certain that the ball valve is still there.

Is there an external valve that you could fit in the hose that would do the job ?

[revilla]

I don't think that would work very well. I'd rather stick to the original design too. They do come up cheap on eBay every now and again and I'm in no great rush, just wondered if anyone had one kicking around really.

I wouldn't be surprised if I could make up a new tube with the ball inside
