Went to pick up the Maidstone cupboards I bought off Ebay and came back with more than expected :p
Advertised was sink/cooker unit, top cupboards and bunks, also got original table and rear door cupboards :)
He also had a few other small spares in the 'shed', been there for 20 years. Among them was a stromberg carb and manifold to fit a Commer. No makers marks tho' [:0]
Last week I picked up an Alexander manifold for twin strombergs from Tatton park.

One of the hunter engines had a similar manifold. Think it was the 1500cc one.

How do you tell the difference between a manifold for iron or alloy heads?.[?]Thanks.

Iron heads have the middle two exhaust ports very close together, alloy ones are equally spaced :)
