Well, close enough to deter the occasional unprepared but excitable
individual. <g> As I say, never seen `em, and after the price for the
manifolding that McAleer mentioned, along with a set of new 40DCOEs and
linkage, I could buy a _couple_ of GT6s at the prices I pay for `em. <g>

Yeah, we went through that one, didn't we? <g> Probably the only way to
get the 175s to fit is to do what the PO did to mine--cut the flanges
off a GT6 manifold and relocate TR6 175 flanges on the GT6 manifold and
weld it back up. A bit inelegant for my taste, but, hey, it's just the
daily driver.
Cheers, Nick.
