Carb intake parts needed

[rover215]

Hey, group-
I'm in need of a set of parts for my carb intake manifolds. Not sure if they have a specific name, but they mount underneath the manifolds, directly under the carbs. Coolant runs through them and they're connected to one another. I'm told they aid in cold starts, but mine are so corroded to the point critical metal is missing (at the hose connections). I used someone else's pic to show the parts I need. Anyone have a set available and in useable shape?

You may also post in the "parts" section for better results.
I believe the parts you are looking for are also used on an e9.

yes, intake manifold bottom covers,
hard to find separated from the manifolds themselves
usually affected by white aluminium corrosion
had nothing to do with cold starts, but they directly affect the pre-heating of the fresh mixture

If you can't find good used parts, a competent aluminum welder can recreate the shape that was corroded by cutting of the remains and welding a new piece of tube on it.

That might be my best route.

Be careful as well as there is a plug inside that chamber that goes into the intake manifold that can leak coolant into the intake Have had that situation a couple if times At least the gaskets are still available

Thanks, Rick

I have some, two sets I’ll send you some pics. One set that came with the car and the other came with a set of 38 downdrafts.

I dont check here very often but im sure I have these parts as well. If Frederic doesn't come through, send me a PM and I'll get an email notification.

That's excellent. I appreciate it!

Turns out my buddy is going to buy the car as is. He has no interest in carbing it and it just going to run the L-Jet for now. Thanks for your offer, though!
