With a new system to match, and the elctronic ignition ready to fit I am determined to have a Humber that is as close to affordable to run as possible!
Pics enclosed: before and after.
No changes where made to the truck itself, and all the removed parts have been kept for posterity.

That Manifold is a work of art even though it is not original.

On existing manifold scenario I believed that Brazing was the long term solution on castings as a weld cannot handle the heat in the same way and always cracks quickly afterwords.

Whilst your replacement looks resplendant a professional repair on the original manifold may come good in the future.

I guess due to nature of repair not a cheap solution, but your repair looks more like exhaust sculpture anyway
