Randy, There are some new intake photos on Mark Forster's site about intake manifolds.

How's the list coming?

TTT.   Don't want to lose this.

Hello Randy,

Any chance the Sprinzel manifolds will be up for sale? I have a Sprite that is looking for just that.

Regards,

Ralph

<<<ORIGINAL MESSAGE>>> 

Finally are a pair of Sprinzell stub manifolds for H4 carbs.  The balance tube is a rubber hose.  Sprinzell Sprites were very fast numbers in their day and I'm assuming the S1000 number means they are for a Sprite 948.  They won't fit on a Mini.  I got these off the "Flounder", a Mini-based rear engined car, in a swap for a standard Sprite setup.

Hey All,

Something has happened and I haven't received notices that there have been new posts on this thread for about a year.  And due to work, racing, getting old, etc. I don't surf through very often.  So I'll try to go back through al the new posts over the past year or so and blend the new stuff in with what we already had.  I wasn't ignoring this good stuff, I just didn't know.

Thanks,

Randy McC - S&M Minis

1008 (next line) 12A661 (next line) P

I looked through this tread quickly, and saw the 12A661 P2, but this is cast on the same line where as my "P" is below the 12A661, and 1008 is stamped in above the 12A661..

here is one

one more.  This is a Warneford Design intake for smallbore A series, number cast on the top is TK950.

Hi Randy

Thanks for all your work on this.

While it is difficult to tell if any of this info relates to what happened here in oz it makes interesting reading. A couple of things that confuses the issue between here and there is a completely different engine number for 998 engines (9Y/Sa/H) and that no engines here (not even S's) had the "D" to indicate PCV fitment.

 Cheers

keeping this thread alive.

 We need a chart like this on different wheel nuts. Anyone that can do it?

The AEG179 with stamped numbers is correct for a 1071 cooper s except the one in the pic is missing intake locating sleeves.

Graeme,

Indeed, quite interesting and more pictures would be helpful.  Could you also e-mail higher resolution pictures to me for the files?  There's another message board that I'll also post some of the unknown manifolds on - not Mini-oriented but it has an impressive depth of knowledge.  That's a lot of work and some fairly nice castings here, seems like more than a one-off.

Your manifold looks like it has the shallow mounting angle for the carbs, i.e., Sprite style rather than Mini style.  Could you verify that and/or provide a pic directly from the side.  There were a fair number of aftermarket manifolds for Sprites in the 948 era when the stock manifold had an H1 (1 1/8 inch) bolt pattern.  There's a good chance yours is from that era, there were probably some pretty obscure manufactures.  A brass casting sometimes indicates a manufacture in a boat-building area.

I've posted this picture of a Sprinzel H4 Sprite manifold before.  Speedwell had a similar product using stub manifolds with a rubber hose for the balance tube.  I suspect yours was made for a similar application.

Hi,

Anyone have any idea about a brass manifold I have for twin H4's on to an A Series. It is nicely ported and looks to be made specifically for the 1.5 carbs. I will try and put an photo of it here. Only markings are "0x2"

 Cheers, Graeme
