ROWL!

Nope, I won't even bother wasting my time.

the next BITCH FIGHT has begun

i love it, people get all defensive, and for what.......

I build houses and I don't complain when things don't go my way. My response was harsh, sorry.

This will be the fifth car I've built so I reckon I'll be able to get by.

How many have you built?

Odds are with your attitude, you'll never achieve much. Stop bitching and do your own work.

Yep, when designing and building you have to think outside the square.........

Stirlingmac wasn't suggesting you use a gasket between the carbs, just for the dimensions you are asking Holley to supply you. For a couple of bucks it makes a cheap template, and an ounce of lateral thinking can save you alot of headaches.

When you're building a car from scratch, you're gunna have to get used to making your own arrangements...

Well, there two things.

Firstly, the car is to be built from scratch--- it will be rear engined (using a Renault box)with the engine hanging over on a 25 Deg. angle to lower the profile. A proprietry manifold will not be able to handle this.

Secondly, I won't use gaskets between carb and manifold -- they aren't recommended. Soft mount O rings are the answer.

I'll say again Holley Aust service is an unhelpful bag of crap and I'll borrow a carb and make my own arrangements

What are you trying to acheive with your planned manifold? I am a little confused as to why ready made manifold wouldn't "suit " your race engine. They are in the business of marketing manifolds so enquiries from some one wanting to make their own could be considered a bit cheeky. As for the dimensions buy a gasket for a DCOE and work from that . Depending on what brand throttle linkages you use will determine the spacing between the carbs.
