    What Year, Model is this?

    This is a 2.8 with the dual exhaust which came out of a TVR 280i. Was hoping to get headers for it but opted for the US version with siamese exhaust ports and Dan’s headers .The Alpine pictured had a 2.6 Capri pictured in orange. The current owner is putting a 2.8 with Dan’s kit.

    Do you have the old cardboard strip? Good to fabricate off the old one as a pattern. Use Hobby Lobby or Michael’s black cardboard picture backing for material. Correct thickness.
