Helo Boys and Girls.

I need you to put on your thinking caps please.

I will be fitting a set of sidedraughts either Dellorto DHLA or Solex,and need some ideas on how the manifold should look like.

I considered the Lakecities one,but since i have a RHD the steering box is in the way.

1.move the alt to where the a/c compressor sits,and build a wrap around with both on top of the engine side by side.The lenghts of the manifold will be a bit long if you ask me

2.build a manifold with them next to the engine on top of the steering box,where the manifold makes a "2" shape.The runners will then be a bit upwards to clear the steering box and make the carbs level.

Any ideas?

Thanks

pics of your engine bay would be good dont know what a RHD looks like where all the stuff is at. The steering box is by the header right ask one of the aussies theirs are RHD too I think. But there are wrap arounds and there are ones that stick straight out the intakes you might even have to go downdraft? just my 2cents

Thanks,i didnt think about posting a pic of my enginebay.

Here is a pic of it,showing the steering box underneath the brake booster.

I dont really want to get downdraughts,as i have 2 complete sets of side draughts.

Any other opinions?

I dont see why a rotaryshack wrap around manifold would not work. It only looks like the alternator would be in the way.

karism

Thanks for the opinion!

Will update on the progress.

??? What does blues clues have to do with a **** North South African with a mailman rigged ( RHD ) 7 that says draught instead of draft ? This South North American wants to know ?

bkm_rx7

Um...he said "thinking cap"

karism

Ok,this is turning into a real shocker.....

My apologies for my spelling mistake!
