No work being done on the manifold at the moment, only because I'm working making a plug to mold the spinner and doing other work on the plane. I did weld two of the bellmouths on to the runners,
but I am saving all my welding up- the exhaust stacks, alternator bracket and water pump outlet, etc for a couple of welding sessions all at once. I hope to be done by this summer, we'll see.

By the way, here are some photos of the spinner plug and other plane photos. I'm sending  the plug out to Brian Alley to have it made in carbon fiber, so anyone else wanting to have a 16" spinner
made, here's your chance. I think It should be around $285.  Note that I have not entirely finished with the spinner.
