Hi Tommy,

If you want the swept back type Manx pipe, you need the 1953 type longstroke one although I don't know if anyone makes this particular pattern. These engines use 7.5" con-rods and have 100 mm stoke so should be about the right height, but remember the pipe will stick out over the mag cover like a dogs wotsits and I think the kick-startWILL be a problem.I understand the boss of Armours has passed away, so don't know what the future is and just hope it keeps going.

Regards, Richard.
