AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2011 Had a new windscreen put into Dudlee after the last one cracked. I had a leak from the windscreen aswell and luckily enough it wasn't the Sunroof drainage holes that have rusted through just the windscreen rubber seal. Novus sealed it all up for free and put the new windscreen. 10/10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted October 14, 2011 Polley... very nice work. I am curious as to what metal type you used for the manifold? As in steel type/grade and thickness? I need to look at making up some 4-2-1 headers for my V8 soon so just want to get some ideas of what material others are using for exhaust manifolds.

They are steam pipe bends, they would be over kill for a NA manifold (and heavy), unless you plan on making a turbo manifold ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
