Title: Gene's manifold finish? Post by: xavier on December 13, 2009, 11:34:40 am Hi all,
does anybody knows if Berg offered the same finish as their linkage(Hammerite blue?) See Speedwell 1st Gen. linkage. Thank you. Xavier Title: Re: Gene's manifold finish? Post by: nicolas on December 13, 2009, 11:40:14 am no, never seen one. they were mostly cast (raw finish).

Title: Re: Gene's manifold finish? Post by: kingsburgphil on December 13, 2009, 22:49:38 pm Yes indeed. Notice the Fram HP-1 filter! And the -6 oil lines! How did we go so fast with so many stock parts? Or at least fast enough with a street car to give the national record holder a decent race. :) Title: Re: Gene's manifold finish?

Post by: Dave Rosique on December 14, 2009, 05:53:58 am My Berg Special 42's had blue manifolds, linkage, air filter tops and bottoms... looked cool with my blue 019 Title: Re: Gene's manifold finish? Post by: Dave Rosique on December 14, 2009, 17:01:37 pm My Berg Special 42's had blue manifolds, linkage, air filter tops and bottoms... looked cool with my blue 019 ~Correction~ Now I remember I had blue manifolds, hammertone blue linkage, gold cad plated air cleaner tops and bottoms. All finishes were original, but I bought the kit slightly used at the La Mirada swap meet mid 70's. There... I feel better now ;D Title: Re: Gene's manifold finish? Post by: . on December 14, 2009, 23:51:06 pm Yes indeed. Notice the Fram HP-1 filter! I bought a dozen of those old "metallic orange" Fram filters a few years ago. |
