Can't remember if the guy said it was Hartge or Schnitzer - pattern (anyone?), all I know I got it for £170 and it looks the nuts. Proper RHD fit too as the pipes bend around the steering column, and looks like it will bolt straight up to my Ansa system. Missed out on the fully-rebuilt B25 he was selling for £350, rackum frackum..
The old, ugly, cast iron exhaust maniflold. The oil filter sits just nice under a heat source, which probably explains part of the reason why it needs an oil cooler, as an engine without an oil cooler has the oil filter sitting further away from the manifold:
With the tubular manifold. Worth it for looks alone:
Fitting it was a little fiddly as the bolts are obscured by the curve of the pipes, so had to hold them in place while it was offered up, but well worth it.
Eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that the oil filter housing is now facing the opposite way, as otherwise the oil filter would be underneath the manifold :shock: great for third-degree burns with your oil services. I just simply unbolted it, switched it round and repositioned the oil cooller pipes.
