Send off the manifold to BTB and get it modified into a BTB3

Sell up on the BTB2 and place an order for the BTB3?
Only like £700-750 or something like that?
If your handy, theres a few tricks people have pulled off, but its close! Not gonna spew out rubbish I dont know about, but with a good search you may find something!

hahah,
Look at the time posted. I think I wrote that as you wrote yours
True though, never thought of modifying the existing mani. No Idea why. Dont recall anyone mentioning that approach in the numerous BTB + rack threads...

I have heard of only one zoner succeeding in mounting an E36 rack with a BTB manifold.
It was done by moving the rack mounts a little to one side.
If you attempt this,you must be a competent welder/fabricator!

A few answers to questions.
We don't have to charge VAT to Channel Islands
We can ship to Australia, but need your postcode for an accurate quote.
We can upgrade existing BTB2 stainless manifolds to BTB3 spec for £287.50 as part of this group buy, by supplying new front 3 into 1 manifold with the modified pipes.
Yes this manifold will work well with an LPG conversion. LPG has higher exhaust temp than petrol so a stainless manifold is a good idea, and the extra efficiency helps offset the lower calorific value of LPG.
Keep the deposits coming in.
Thanks.

Obviously will be abit more expensive now but definitely worth ringing Joe to ask about it in any case.
