Errol, Very similar design on the Ball cars, may be he pinched it from you. Gerry used some sort off asbestos material on the underside of the plate above the headers much like a Euro car that I looked at once.

Mick, I make up a plate from thin aluminium (1mm approx) the length of the number 1 to number 4 extractor outlets (plus 2-3" ) and slide it in between the inlet manifold and the extractors until it jams in against the head with a bit of a light tapping/wacking to conform to the extractor bends. This has the plate seating against the head firmly. Mark the distance to the front face of the carb in front of each carb and scribe a line along it. This is the bend line to form a flange on the undershield. I then get a sheet of 3-4 mm aluminium and mark the centres of the carb throats and bolt hole locations for a vertical face on front of the carbs that extends up to the base of the bonnet with a small rubber flap to seal there. I make the under side extend down to just near the rail and put a rubber seal on there as well. The horizontal section is then trimmed of to leave a flange that can be bolted through onto the vertical section. This seals the extractors from the intake area and keeps any fuel leaks of the exhaust. :-) Cheers Feral Errol --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
