I think the Z ones are compatable with SU (original) carbies, where as the 180B type are harder to source parts I may be wrong though. Are there more than one type that bolt onto a L seires 4 cyclinder? Everyone I speak to tells me to get rid of them and they arent worth spending a cent on!
Is there any other way to stop the heat in the engine bay, I can notice a huge differance on hotter days. Whats that exhaust tape (wrap or whatever they call it) like?
