    Hi Sebastian,

    You are not alone in Germany, but I live a bit far from you near Bremen. Also can not help with a manifold; Sorry!
    Is this maybe where you looking for? http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeige...283?ref=search

    Good luck André

    But the ZT 260 is my daily driver so I don't have too much time to get it back on the road ;-)
    Where do you usually buy parts for the V8 ? In Germany there are special US car parts shops (such as KTS) but they are quite expensive so I buy the expensive parts at rockauto.com and pay extra for customs and delivery.

    Regards,
    Sebastian

    Hi André,

    so I am not the only one to drive a 260 :-) good to know, I had severe issues to get it re-registered at the German TÜV authorities (they claimed I would have modified the suspension and shock absorbers because they looked like aftermarket parts to them).

    Hi Andy,

    how much do you want for the inlet manifold ?

    Regards,
    Sebastian

    You really need to get your questionnaire back to Tim to get full membership Sebastian.

    if it's the same hose that the Club do an upgraded version of, then these hoses are handed, so make sure you get the Left Hand Drive hose If you are left hand drive

    hope you are sorted soon Rick
