I bet you it would be easy to make a "sandwich plate" out of milled aluminium that would get everything lining up. Something like that would only cost $100 to do on a CNC milling machine once it had all been worked out.Anyone got access to both halves of an inlet manifold they care to donate to the cause?

I paid $170 NZ for an BA one from a breaker, the AU and earlier were cheaper but the guy said they wouldnt fit?the numbers on the parts dont match but I'm not convinced BA manifold top 3R23-9425-AA bottom RF-3R23-9K461-AAEF mk2 top 94DA-9425-CB bottom 94DA-9K461-CBWhat do you guys think?
