rcreweread Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Hi folks - just a quick heads up that I have listed a superb 4A manifold in Classifieds - it is unused after being professionally ceramic coated which not only protects the manifold from corrosion but also reduces under bonnet heat thereby helping to protect the carbs, starter motor and dynamo/alternator from heat damage. The head and exhaust faces have been milled to be absolutely flat, it has been fitted with new copper coated studs and comes complete with a gasket and silicone bronze nuts which are far superior to normal brass nuts, being much harder so they don't "bell" out like normal brass ones when done up tightly. Some photos attached. I doubt you will find a better one - was asking £350 which is a bargain as it is, but price now reduced to £300 as I need the space - ceramic coating on it's own typically costs more than this! Grab a bargain If interested, get in touch or PM me Cheers Rich PS Also have a TR2/3/4 one to a similar spec - price £175 - now reduced to £125 Edited September 10, 2022 by rcreweread Price reductions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 That looks lovely Rich. A bargain for someone. I aluminium metal spray my TR2 exhaust manifold back in the early 70’s and if is still looking very good. It was nice to have access to such facilities as an apprentice.

I believe the blasting process prior to ceramic coating is much less severe than normal sandblasting, hence the retention of much of the original surface finishes.

Peter - thanks for your comments - you might recognise the silicone bronze nuts as it was your recommendation some time ago to use and source them - I ordered a small batch which had to come from across the pond! A local Vapour Blasting company has just started doing the ceramic coating so was offering some great deals. They will also shortly start doing "crackle black" finishes and have a TR5 air plenum chamber of mine to do so I'm looking forward as to how that will come out - will post some photos when it's done Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malbaby Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Just a thought....if you have a spare matching exhaust pipe flange, that may assist a potential buyer that wants to convert their single outlet to your dual [semi extractor] manifold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted September 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Unashamed bump - have reduced the 4A manifolds to an absolute giveaway price of £300 and the earlier TR one to £125. Absolute bargain! cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
