CT = Conversion and Tuning

Generic British performance accessory company from 1960s & '70s. Produced many different manifolds and carburettor kits for large range of cars, especially Minis and Fords.  Smiley

No relation at all. We used 48IDAs on our rallycross  Beetles in early '70s. CT used to just copy any other manifolds available.

I saw this link talking about C/T :
http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk/conversion_tuning.htm

Check out the photo of the guy preparing an IDA carb Wink

I have the same manifolds for IDA and they are a copy cat of the Empi globe manifolds.
