Thanks James, colin I will keep my eye on that.
Any one from this site have a used or new old stock one for sale.
Can anyone plz tell me if there is a differance on the mk1 and mk2 or mk3 maniflod setup. will a Tr one fit?? only there is one on ebay uk. why is the one on the german ebay site slopped to the front end, and the more modern shorter ones seems just stright???
Mant thanks

Piero,
The Mk1 head is quite different from the Mk2/3 GT6 head.
The Mk1 ports are all in a line, unlike the higher inlet ports of the Mk2/3 (and Mk2 Vitesse, and 2500 and TR5/6, I think)
If you were me, with a GT6 Mk1 that I wanted to fit with Webers, I'd buy this like a shot - you'll never see another.
But if I were you, I'd throw the Mk1 engine and fit a 2500!

And the TR250/US spec TR6 head has the inlet ports closer together. Also, GT6 Weber manifolds are stepped down towards the front to fit under the bonnet. If you were to use a later head and TR manifolds, significant (and ugly) bonnets mods would be required.-

Are you getting teh hint yet???
Buy this manifold from Michael Moenstermann as you will never see another. It may go up to a coupel of hundred quid so be prepared to dig deep in you pockets.
Has anyone noticed how Michael has spookily cropped up in 2 totally unrelated threads???
He owns the car that isn't for sale elsewhere on Ebay. (7B)
Cheers

And these earlier manifolds are much better quality castings than some of the newer productions. From my own experience, my manifold that purports to be the Triumphtune product but judging by the cosmetic quality of the casting is clearly a copy. I had to gas flow the interior surfaces to clean them up and file the flanges to make it fit. They look sand cast and then powder coated without proper cleaning.
If I was doing it again, I would jump at an early (quality) manifold.

Don't assume that TR manifolds will fit. Weber manifolds made for the GT6 that I have personal experience of -- Triumphtune -- are stepped so the carbs are lower at the front than at the back to ensure they fit under the bonnet.
Manifolds that don't step the carbs in this fashion will cause the front carb to foul the bonnet on a GT6.-

Silly question, but why not step all three carbs so they all sit low and stright????????
They look odd at a slop to the stright engine !!! Yuk.
I am having thoughts of putting a small super charger on it instead

I would look at it the other way round, the engine is sloping with respect to the nice level carbs!
It looks right once it is all together, it just seems odd when you think about it.

Just had another look at that manifold that started this.
It IS stepped!
So no probs fitting it, Piero!

It is steped, but only at the front.
will look ugly.
besides, found a site with some guys who supercharged there GT6.
Am hooked

Nonsense
Have you ever actually seen a GT6 triple Weber installation?

Because the rear carb would foul the bulkhead. It's pretty close anyway with filters on.
