Update on progress on the exhaust.

I got my flanges and started fitting them. Sorry for bad picture quality. The finished result looks like this...

I believe they are the 152,s. I bought everything as a job lot and the webbers were with it so not 100% sure. Ill try to find out.

I built up the bulkhead box tonight, seemed easy enough to be able to justify not buying the allspeed one.
Some 1mm sheet, cut to size with a grinder and just tig welded it up...

I know it's a bit late now but you will find water collects on the bottom of the box (not good - I had this with my Turbo box before I cut it out and returned it to standard). You could add a sloped insert I suppose,

It had crossed my mind. However the car is going to be used purely in dry weather.
I might fit a ram air feed in to near the box to dry it off if it should ever get wet.

You seem to be at similar stage to us but our shell is painted. What info do you have on carbs to use in available space and where to get manifold. Interested in best option as injection system much too big for space
