Where do I find one of these? Were they fitted to any M50's or are they pureley a 2.8 item? I really dont fancy chopping at a cast manifold :?

From what I've seen in the breakers' yards, the tubular manifolds started with the M52s onwards.
On my own M50, I used an unmodified front E36 cast manifold, and a rear one with the section between where the three pipes join and the flange removed.
