" Better start looking for a secondhand manifold. Nearly $500 on the

time we are ripped off over here.

try ebay, there are some biggish us dealers that will ship to uk.

Thanks, good idea.

My local freindly Mercruiser dealer wants £500 + VAT for a manifold and
elbow. But he can't give any discount because the margins are so slim on
parts. There must be a bull in the next field, as I can't half smell some
s**t!!!
