Hi Rick,

I have the Warnerford manifolds - the original type - and they fit without
modifying any metalwork.

The rear carb, with very short ram tubes, is clear of the pedal box
metalwork (if it was LHD)

Warnerford/ redline are now selling a modified version of this manifold, to
reduce the angle to 4 - 5 degrees - but I haven't seen one on a car yet.
