I made a fair amount of progress today, if they sent the correct manifold and heat spacer I would have been happier.
That said looking at the manifold it won't fit how I want it to regardless of the size and its made me think a bit more about what I'm trying to do.
I got the YSN 22mm carb which should have come with a 22mm manifold, but a 26mm turned up.
Anyhow to get the manifold facing backwards I am going to have to get swivel bracket, the type that goes between the head and the inlet manifold.
I've found 20mm ones that match my head and should allow me to swivel the mainfold.
As I have the opertunity to swap the manifold I'm wondering would it be best to get a 20mm manifold and flow the manifold at the carb end to 22mm or do I get a 22mm manifold and flow the swivel bracket at the top to 22mm?
I'm thinking the 20mm swivel braket would be best as I would have 22mm of air flow closer to the head, plus its going to be easier to do.
Without the manifold I managed to fit the wiring loom, ignition, front controls, regulator, coil, HT Lead, CDI, exhaust and side stand
I even managed to have a go with my sanding disk, which I am very impressed with, so much im going to strip the frame my self with it and spray the inside with Fertan to treat the rust.
hopefully get the swivel bracket and manifold this week.
