does anybody know of a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold that would fit a 1300 Tolly?
I'm a wiz with a welder , but would like to know what to start with

You could try to adapt the Spitfire tubular manifold. It doesn't fit the Dolly/Tolly because it the subframe fouls it.

Edit: I was looking on Jigsaw's website and they're selling such a manifold for £205. Grab one while you can. That's cheaper than most of the Spitfire ones.

I would try getting a spitfire 4 branch, cut it off just below where the primaries join, so you have 2 2into1 parts, then try to marry up a double downpipe from a 1500 HL Dolomite to them. You might have to make a couple of intermediate pipes but it would be better than having to fab the whole thing. The secondaries on a Dolly are fearsomely convoluted!
