But I don't know what kind they are, so I do also want to know what kind these are :) Title: Re: RARE MANIFOLDS! Post by: plasticblack on March 06, 2010, 12:16:10 pm Hi Guys
Those manifolds look just like a set that was fitted to a Beetle I bought in the late '70s. It was supposedly fitted with an Engine built by Autocavan a few years earlier? Perhaps Keith can shed some light on that possibilty? But that said it could have been a 'Bitsa'.. I've never seen Manifolds like those since in UK. I do remember thought that they were not great manifolds and the Aluminum was a bit Cheesy. ;D Title: Re: RARE MANIFOLDS! Post by: Fastbrit on March 06, 2010, 12:30:34 pm Nothing to do with Autocavan, per se, but a generic manifold which, I believe, originated in Germany.
