Optical illusion Johnno. The black cloth is covering the bottom edge of the manifold making it appear the manifold is damaged.

Whilst on this topic, the philips head screws holding down the dashpot. Are they still available as some of mine (heads of screws) are looking tired. I looked up the Zenith site but its unclear.

Ebay is full of insanely priced secondhand bits we've all got piles of. Good for a laugh, every time. Good old american picker type shows turning people into greedy buggers

Good stuff to have in the shed, hey nz

If they're not on an engine I'd whack 'em in a bank safety deposit box if I were you...
