There's a guy over on VVOC trying to get a group buy organised for vec v6 tubulars.  You could ask him about the possibility of getting an omega one off the ground.  Would imagine the jigs etc will be easier for an omega set-up.

If you want to go to Courtenay be prepared to lube up and bend over.

I've got a set of 12mm mild steel flanges to mock up some short pipes to fire up the 3.0 in the kit car, but need to find a magician to build a system local to me.

Or failing that, RT Racing in Sheffield.

Their metalwork guy, (Pete), is a true craftsman  :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I will keep them in mind.

I didn't want to tow/trailer it too far, but will not rule it out to to get the job done properly.  :y

ABS were planning on doing some.

Main answer now is use the pressed steel facelift manifolds

What do they look like?

I have to have single pipes coming off theflange to exit the side panel.
If the pressed steel manifold is just a replica of the cast one the first pipe conection will be somewhere near my toes in the driver & passenger footwells  ::)
