| Hi Jon, so will Minx do, or did Series II Rapier have slightly larger ports? Oh, and I guess it will need to be for twin carb on the inlet side - so might be Rapier specific? G. |

Minx will do,but would like the twin inlet manifold and separate exhaust manifold. Would love a twin choke webber inlet conversion but not holding my breath! must be for cast iron engine though as ports are different

Hi Jon, I still have the Rapier's twin Zeniths here on the manifold with cone filters, not sure if it would be worth posting from SA or whether it would fit the cast iron head.I made my 4 into 1 exhaust manifold , but one has to have some buddies to make the bends and flange.
Cheers

I've got an Alexander twin carb side-draft manifold (tuning parts!) for a Minx (at least I'm pretty sure it's for a Minx).

Alexander manifold pics:
Found this on a shelf at my local friendly car restorer - think it's a 1960s tune-up part for a Minx but not sure.
