Paul:
Has anyone completed fabrication of the manifold,tubes,injector holders?
If so, did I miss a picture of the completed system while off the list. You
may have guessed, I am having trouble finding a shop that will weld the tube
bends to the manifold, due to the low clearance between the tubes at the
manifold end.

Yes it is tricky to weld between the tubes. If it is a non turbo installation
a bit of JB weld could be used to seal the small portion between the tubes.
One other trick to weld the large and small together before it is welded to
the manifold casting.

Bill Schertz has his completed. Here are the pictures.

Bill Mensing, at Sheet Craft in Santa Paula can do it.  I can help him jig
it up  as he is a friend and hangar neighbor. I can also look over his
shoulder :)  bill.sheetcraft@verizon.net   805 525 3942   

I'll be gone Friday, Sat and Sunday this week so tell him
I'll be back to help him jig it up next week.

BTW I still have a few manifold castings and runner castings left.
