Oh right. I wouldn't hold high hopes to be honest mate - fitting an RHD 6 branch to an m20 is tricky in itself, the clearance with the steering linkage is minimal and thats with a manifold purposely designed to fit that car with that engine - if you see what I mean.


Keep me updated though - I might use a LHD car for my donor!! :twisted:
