Stainless manifold for Vitesse Mk1 1600

[Hiwex]

Hi, I’m looking for a stainless manifold for my 1600 Vitesse.  Rimmer don’t offer one, yet they offer a Mk1 2000, which has me wondering what the difference is between the Mk1 1600 and 2000 head?  My question is will the 2000 manifold fit, or can it be made to?

Anyone know?

The 1600 and Mk1 heads had the ports all in line

Not the best pic

A Mk2 or Saloon has the intake and exhaust ports offset, to allow better breathing.

So you can see that a manifold for the later head will not fit the earlier.   And cannot be altered to fit, without major mods!

Thanks, does that go for the Mk1 2000 as well?  Is the Mk1 2000 head the same as the Mk2 2000?

no  all mk are ports in line all mk2 are offset 

and its best to just have one posting , or you will get a confused responses

Some times I think we should all post threads twice, to allow for thread drift on one, and to-the-point answers on the other...

It would never work. Somebody would answer the question on the drifting one...

doesnt matter we are all confused anyway

which zone to post makes little difference as many of us set the display up for latest posts so we get what ever is loaded some 

at the top there are 3 boxes use the rh one and you get a time line in all zones order
