hks one fits i think. they shouldn't be that hard to find. the blokes here in the states aren't very partial to the hks ones.

I have HKS, and I can attest to the flattened side, I like it cause it has a cast manifold end to it, which seems to do better under the heat stress.... try and find a picture of the hks, and you'll see exactly why the pettit one, won't fit...
