The early Mk2 XR2 manifold you have in your video is actually in 2 sections.
The carb bolts to a plate about 15 mm thick and that plate is in turn
bolted to the manifold, the plate is quite a lot larger than the carb
base and covers where the throttle cable bracket bolts on as well.
I assume it's just the plate that is distorted ?
Or, could you be getting air leaks from between the plate and the
manifold ?, there should be another gasket in between them.
A local machine shop shop should be able to machine the plate flat, it
would be a lot easier (=cheaper) than machining the manifold.
Or, if you can send it to me i can do it.

Hello there, does anyone know where or how, or who I have to kill, to get hold
of an intake manifold for a standard 1.6 xr2 CVH (might have solved my new carb
problem btw) as mine seems to be slightly warped where the carb bolts on and I
can't find one anywhere.
I can get one that takes twin 45s but I'm not sure my wife would be super
pleased with that purchase (and then the necessary twin 45s purchase to go with
it) and I honestly don't think my quantum is big enough to live in
(cause-effect).
Open to any other low cost solutions too! In a jolly side note seem to have
alienated all customer relations with the lovely chaps at Webcon for ever. Note
to self; before going on tyrannical bender of phone and email abuse, check the
obvious.
