Head(ers) Up
Not to upstage any sellers but since the supply seems good I thought I would pass this along.
Having spent the day ”reworking” the first pipe of the Ansa header (like the ones in the old C and R Small catalog #4) with my favorite tool the sledgehammer, proving you can get a GT header to fit into a Manta. I was thinking headers. Since despite much shoehorning and banging yesterday for a couple of hours I couldn’t get it to fit right I looked about on the web for the proper header for a Manta first new and then used. Looking at the prices of a new one I went back today and redoubled my efforts and eventually got it to fit.
While looking on the web I didn’t find any used Manta headers but the German Ebay has two Opel GT Headers listed currently. Just go to http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2413220303&category=28627 and http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2412656477&category=28596
. Since they aren’t very big shipping by mail is possible. The price when I last looked was between 12 and 22 Euros.
