That I did, just done them in the shed the other day... I dropped one of them and broke the end off and before I sprayed them I was using "back to black" and I didn't clean them properly and it reacted with the paint so I may buy a new set and spray them again!

looks like a cast 3 to 1 manifold.. pretty rare, was cooper item iirc.
i think the carb you already have fitted (HIF-44?) is better in my opinion than the one you show there (HS4), plus yours is likely to have the correct needle for your car. - that exhaust will be *noisy*
was there any other stuff in that car? where is the breakers? rare to see mini's in a breakers these days.

Manifold is Cooper or 1300GT , I think the carb is HS6 but as Keith says stick with the HIF44. If there off the silver car in the scrappy hope you got the center binnical and clocks.

Out in the shed in bubble warp
Tryed to put the manifold on yesterday and it wouldn't fit as it was hitting out the fuel pump? I'm guessing its just for a 1ltr?

Not for 1ltr , the cooper and 1300GT both had electric fuel pumps. I took a photo of a manifolld I have you can see how close it is to the fuel pump blank plate on the engine. the second pic is the later Cooper freeflow manifold which is shaped to allow for the pump.
I'm not sure but I think some old mechanical pumps might have had both pipes on the same side.

it will go onto *any* A series that does not use the mechanical pump on the block, as woody's pic shows, the pump location blanked off.

Did you check out the engine that manifold came off. 998 or 1275? Could be a nice head on it.
