new Jubilee manifold

[bama7x57]

The exhaust section of my Jubilee manifold has been cracked for years. I'm wanting to replace it with a new one.
What has been everyones experience with the aftermarket manifolds?

if you buy one, carefully measure the slotted carb mounting holes they
all come with now.
In years past, I've seen even the slotted holes on aftermarket manifolds
not narrow enough
for the Jubilee's TSX-428 carbs very narrow bolt spacing.

rat tail file fixes it pretty good..

If you are in the habit of buying castings from foreign makers, also
buy a Dremel and an assortment of little grinding stones... Pretty
much every non-US cast part I"ve bought recently (even some from
the dealer) has needed a little rework either for fit or for cosmetics.

i've seen some ports that still have a good deal of casting chaff in them..

The manifold for my 2N (purchased either from nnalert's or this site maybe four years ago -- I don't remember), bolted right up and sealed fine. The only problem is that there's a BIG lump of metal on the left end that makes it hard to connect the intake. Looks like the mold was made wrong because the wall is just really thick there, otherwise it looks like it's supposed to be there. Maybe I just got lucky...

There is some difference in size but they fit.
