Found the link, I had taken a prinscreen of it ages ago on my iPad to aid my memory https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/porks-bike-carbs-and-boost-project.52721/page-81#post-711631 Its one of porks previous projects, just wanted to remind him post number 4043 on page 81.

sorry that wasn't very clear was it! VW egr valves have a stainless link pipe. if you look on eBay for "vw egr pipe" it'll come up. You buy two and lop the flanges of and the flanges are an extremely good fit to the micra exhaust flanges. ill try and find one to explain

don't forget the egr valve pipes will give you nice stainless micra flanges :)

time for an update :) june 2016 new motorbike throttle bodies to go fuel injection nothing till august 2016 new front air dam, also projector beam lights work restarted this year new front mount radiator mocking up the inlet mani new water pipe design pipework sorted expansion tank...

The pipes are slightly smaller. Micra is 32mm for the top and 25mm for the bottom of the rad I believe. Mine is 25initally for the top hose and then goes to 32 as my rad has inlets and outlets of 32. They are definitely longer Than standard like you say. But like you said that link pipe is for...

Thankyou for the reply Pollyp it's appreciated, If you look closely next to the link pipe part on the rocker cover there is an outlet on the radiator, I'm planning to link this to an expansion tank on the bulkhead. It'll make the system a bit of an arse to fill and bleed but will be high enough...

Hey people I though I'd add a few bits I've collected for other people interested in the project. Pistons are the earlier 1litre and 1.2 pre twinport ones. And don't forget the vw egr valve link pipes make good stainless header flanges :) Just thought I'd add that :) Lawrence

Hey then people :) Micra mini does still exist but I've been so busy with the little beast that I've not really kept this blog updated. I mainly wanted to keep the engine and mini parts separate so let's put a little update on about the engine. Main thing. 1275 high comp engine is no more :(...
