get the manifold welded up to join the pipes up a bit more as they make a horrible tinny noise if not

Windscreen washers will be the filter on the tank clogged, always a bugger that.

Looking good though mate

weld the primary pipes together further up, they are already done lower down but i found mine was really tinny took me ages to find out why

heat wrapping helped on mine too

by the time you have paid for enough decent heatwrap for an SBD manifold you could have change from getting it fully ceramic coated, inside and out!

better than heatwrap as well. especially on a mild steel manifold.
