Reply to "Valve cover emblems & now extensions (11/24) update"

Ok Steve now I get you, that makes sense. My car is left hand drive, but when I got it there were original parts missing, the engine has been modified from original which I had tested over here on a dyno - not in the car, it is producing a tad over 340hp. We thought of putting original headers back on and Johnny made up a pair of beautiful, hand beaten heat shields. But then we decided that the big bore headers and exhaust had been made so well and that the original headers would have stifled the engine, we went with what I have got! Also we ran out of time and to get these made because we had entered the car into the annual indoor classic and sports car show.

I still need to source parts for the AC compressor, the suction side originally had an extended service/shut off valve that I don't have, it had a 1/4" link pipe connecting to the discharge service valve.

Roger Brotton has three Mangusta's at his workshop all from the USA and one I know of is very original so I will check with him next week when I visit and let you know what I find.

Johnny is going to do another rebuild article shortly on my car so I hope you find that of interest when he posts it.

Regards Richard.
