MG Midget and Sprite Technical - EXHAUST MANIFOLD

Can an ehaust manifold mfrom a 1098 fit and work properly on a 1298? I have an aquaintance building up a warmed up 1298 in a bug-eye?

I'm assuming that you mean 1275 rather than 1098.

Later 1098 engines used the same manifold as the 1275 - part number 12G420.

The earlier 1098 manifold - 12A191 - would not be much use on a 1275.

Thanks Dave.
1275 it is. Fingers moved faster than my brain.
How can I identify the difference in the 1098 manifolds?

The part number should be cast into the manifold.

I'll see if I can dig out some photos from my archive. They are quite different.

OK, here's the early 1098 manifold

This is the later 1098 and most 1275s

...and this is the studded manifold (without studs, in this case) as fitted to the last 1275s
