The codes in the military parts lists e.g CO11 etc. aren't matched in the civvy catalogues. There, the prefixes are quite different.

Another twist - aren't the CMP manifolds different than the civvy ones?

I wouldn't know where to start making my own pipes - but if anyone out there provides this service I'm open to quotes!

Still need help!!

The French used the Ford flat head until the '80's and then all the parts went to auction..There are tons of new old stock parts around..Get what ever you want from Red's..
