This has been a spoke in a set of cogs for me for 10 years..
Would prefer not to repair, welds never work as well as another one and I just know there is another one out there, sitting on a disused A12 that someone has otherwise removed from a datto to drop in a CA18 or A15 or something else.. come on guys there must be SOMEONE out there.. $$$ waiting. Happy to pay up to $150 inc shipping for this one..

That Manifold looks like the one I'm looking for!

Can you post a close up pic of the bolt pattern for me?

I've had heavier weights than that on the back of my 1200 sedan in the early '90s! Used to just load the back seat and boot up with weight (cable) first. Needed both feet on the brake to stop it though!

Update:

I've taken out the fuel system now (that 10 year old bodgy fuel really was awful.. made a big mess of the tank, will need to replace entire fuel sys).

Ive decided to restore basically to stock then register and get it on the road and then play with the LPG after that.

Now I just need to find a replacement manifold for the one that cracked (see Classifieds)..

Hi all.

Here's a few photos of the unusual (cracked) inlet manifold I've got. I really want to keep the A12 motor because it's in excellent condition but it has this weird bolt pattern on the manifold which is different to 99% of the A12's found in Australia.

Has anyone else got an inlet manifold they don't want, that has this bolt pattern?

Also looking for a good Hitachi carby perhaps removed from a working motor (someone out there upgrading??)

My datto has those plates. You still need that pic?
