Some of mine are in photobucket,but it wouldnt hurt to get decent shots of them all for a bit of a reference.

Plus what others have got,or have photos of..

It would make a cool thread.

Manifolds,rocker covers and sideplates.
OK Craig,

Let's do it.

I figure if we get enough interest from forum members we could really get something good going here, and not just the stuff we're talking about. With some effort from everyone it could be engine gear (grey and red) along with all manner of other nick nacks. So far as i know there isn't anything on here where a dedicated thread deals with manifolds for example, rather it's fragmented all through here. Ditto radios, NASCO and other stuff.

I'll try and get some files happening and get them onto photobucket for a start.

Good start Mick !

From what you have said before Craig you should wow us with some you have, and more than happy to throw 'em in the 'washing machine' (F%&^$N $20 grand washer - never again lol). I just blasted a Speco triple and sort of regret it in a way - it sort of looked like it had stood the test of time and then after blasting just looked new again if you know what I mean. Still when it's decked out with the fresh carbs all done it will look pretty cool.

I have put three on photobucket and you can access them on http://s802.photobucket.com/albums/yy30 ... Manifolds/ and will keep adding more as I go. I've got some before pics as well so will mix them in too. I opened a new window before to test the link and it worked for me.

Since heaps of guys run reds what do you reckon about either including them or making a separate thread ?

So Nick can have his thread back I've kicked off the relevant thread in the Engine section.

Now gentlemen, if you would kindly move on (with you pics transferred of course), there's nothing to see here !!

Let's hope it gets legs !

Well done Nick, I would have thought someone with lots of them around might have found one they cold let you buy of them instead of just knowing you want one and then shoving them in your face but not selling one :roll: .
If they aren't getting used they are dust collectors :lol: .
