Hello Everyone, Just a quick follow-up from me... today I installed the replacement bracket for the Alunox manifold. It fit perfectly and only took a couple of hours to do, including putting the car's back end up onto jack stands. Extreme kudos to the folks who have worked with Alunox to get this done. It's top-quality equipment and I can't thank you guys enough! I will attach two pictures - one of my original bracket (which broke), and one of the replacement bracket installed. I'm fairly convinced that my original bracket broke because we installed it rather tightly and there was just no give in it. Regards to All, Jay Gallentine Shorewood, Minnesota, USA

Hello Everyone, I'm over here in the American midwest and fit the Alunox manifold on late last year (autumn 2014). We actually had fairly little trouble getting the thing on. In the shop there happened to be another Lotus engine on a stand; we bolted-up the Alunox to it first just to check fit and whatnot. This spring I was under the car and noticed that the Alunox support bracket, which has been the topic of much conversation, had snapped off exactly like that other guy who posted a picture. From the sounds of things we may have tightened it up too much during install. I can post a photo if people would like. I now have in my possession the replacement bracket. However, I've no idea how or where to install it. Does anyone have any sort of guide for this revised bracket? Thanks, Jay

Hello Dave, I would be interested as well. Presumably, you are aware of the manifold from PUK Esprit? Here is a link: http://freudhoefer.de/lotus/esprit/products/exhaust/ Please keep me in the loop! Thanks much.
