Long story short... I could do with some information.
I'm based in the North East, and need a fabricator to make an inlet manifold for my Carb Conversion. Now before anyone says "Oh, Bogg Brothers will do it" they won't. In fact they weren't very helpful at all. So if anyone knows of a "company" / bloke in a shed that would be able to
a) CNC the manifold plate out of SS
b) Weld some SS tubing onto it
Could you post up please. Don't mind if they're not local, although NE would be better. Cheers

I'm using a 2E block with 1.8 carbed head. I'm also going to be either cutting out the scuttle panel OR looking to be a bit creative with the inlet pipes, ie double back on themselves over the rocker cover in a similar manner to the DOHC inlet manifold.

Re: Fabricator / CNC Dude Needed
How thick do you need the plate to be? Probably be cheaper to laser cut (although tricky with stainless because it reflects the laser) or water jet cut. If you can produce a CAD drawing of the geometry you want should be well cheap

I'm hoping it won't be overtly expensive... but finding someone to do it would help, haha
