Hi,
When fitting a HIF44 from an MG Metro should it go in without any mods to the bulkhead?
I am using the MG manifold and mine doesn't fit.
The bulkhead will have to be cut to get it in and I am worried that the dashpot may touch the bonnet.
Do folks use a special short manifold?

I've got the Metro engine, carb and MG inlet manifold in my Mini with no bulkhead or bonnet mods. It should fit even if it's a tight squeeze. The dashpot won't touch the bonnet. If you unbolt the engine steady you can tip the engine forwards slightly to give a bit more room at the back to help get the carb on.
I'll take my bonnet into college next Thursday and give it a try.
Cheers
