98oilhead Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Can the collective wisdom direct me to a source for headers for this motor? The exhaust exits on the passengers side. Hopefully there's a source for these. The vehicle is a 1986>87 Sabre 7 built on the west coast and is a pretty good replica. All help is appreciated. Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellowss7 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Caterham uk has them https://caterhamparts.co.uk/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=exhaust+header+duratec&submit_search= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
papak Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 You might try Tom Carlin (tbox56). Tom is the Birkin distributor. He might have a set for a Birkin that could fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brightonuk Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Worst case contact Simpson exhausts prices are very good they are in the UK but will sort you out Has them replace my superlite exhaust shiping is a pain but worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 In UK, Caterham and Simpson as mentioned above. Also in UK: Powerspeed - http://www.fastroadconversions.co.uk/caterham-powerspeed.html Cheesman - https://www.cheesmanproducts.co.uk/exhaust-systems/ GoodFabs - https://www.goodfabs.com/ These are all companies that have made exhaust systems for Caterham 7s to some extent previously.

s2europa Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Nick, I have an unused 2.3 header, but you would need to fabricate the rest of the exhaust system. I bought it for a front wheel driver project and it never happened. I'm attaching a couple pictures so you can have a look. I also have a dual side draft intake manifold for the 2.3, but I'm guessing you already have what you need for that. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alfonse Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If it is from the 1980s, it isn't a Duratec. I would assume a SOHC Pinto type engine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
98oilhead Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 These look like they might work. how much do you want? Paypal? Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
s2europa Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Alfonse is right. This header is for a Duratec. It won't fit the 2.3 Lima motor (if that's what you have). If you happen to have the Duratec motor, you're golden. If you decide you want the header, it's $175 plus shipping from 98296. If you do have the Lima 2.3, look around on some of the Merkur or Pinto/Bobcat forums or http://www.esslingeracing.com/. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
