URGENTLY WANTED: P76 manifold spacers

Post by TuffRR »

Does anyone have a set of EFI manifold spacers for the P76 4.4. I urgently require a set ASAP.

Open to any suggestions other than Toorak Tractors (long story and nothing against them).

Thanks.

Big thumbs up to Rova Centre in Skye. For anyone who is looking for adaptors or most things Rover give these guys a try.
Whilst i havent received my adapters yet, the design as explained to me over the phone is a much better system than anything else currently being made.
BTW, after an exhaustive national search, it seems that these guys and Toorak Tractors are the only ones who now make an adapter for the 4.4.

The other ones were originally too thick, so there was alignment issues with the injectors, ports etc. I got an engineering place to take some of them but they got a bit carried away and took too much off.

I'm not too disappointed though, the design of the ones I'm getting sound much better, they actually bolt into the heads and then the manifold bolts onto the adapter. This is different to the Toorak Tractor style which just have long bolts that go from the manifold through the adaptor and onto the heads. It should certainly help to install and line them up as well as probably offering a better seal.

(plus the toorak tractors ones have doubled in price in the last year!!!!)

Thats the same as mine!

just make sure you get them bolted down tight before you try to fit the intake manifold or you will have a vacume leak and these are made in NZ !!!!

Same as mine also.

The adaptors bolt to the heads with allen head bolts.
This is the easy part as the valley cover fits nicely and the spacers are easy to secure. Just do them up tight to prevent leaks.

I made the spacer to manifold gasket .
Didn't worry about punching holes for the spacer bolts, just the manifold bolts.
It's a pain to line up.
Just be patient.

Oh, and how confusing is it with TuffRR and TUFRR :?:
