What about asking GES in Devon how much they would charge for a stainless version. They would use your steel one as a model. We recently sent them an O series front section and they made up a stainless one in 24 hours.

Re: 3 Branch exhaust manifold
I fitted an MGB one to SLK. All I did was bend up the pipe to go in line with the Marina body.

Re: 3 Branch exhaust manifold
I did the same as Ben on my 1.8. If they made them about 25mm shorter on the downpipes, they would be perfect.
To miss the mechanical fuel pump you need a sharp angle on the front pipe like the one in the picture.

Re: 3 Branch exhaust manifold
Found this of SLK's old one:

Made blanking plate:

Welded a piece on the end and then jacked it up when warm (this is before I jacked it up)
