Conversion and Tuning, a company based in London in the 1960s/70s. Made many carb manifolds and other parts from Fords and Minis. VW stuff not common but helped to feed a growing market before USA-made parts were readily available.

Thanks everyone
I have been wondering for ages what they were
if only they were for IDAs I could run them...

the IDA manifold thread is really cool
its ironic that I recognised a pair of manifolds in there
I have a pair of them in my loft
and it says unknown manifold underneath them lol

my short IDA maniflods:



These came off or Simonski's wheelstanding Hustler buggy before it retired with a stck 1600...
