if you put a lever shut off tap on the end of your lance then you can control the flow of air.Thanks guys....
As far as the jacks are concerned, I was in search of some 63.5mm internal diameter tubing, however no steel supplier that I called was able to supply anything so, I put a call into a local exhaust company to me. They managed to use some 63mm OD pipe and then flare it on there machine that they use for making sleeves for exhaust joining.
These tubes I have welded into the floor pan front and rear just on passenger side so far.
I have operated the 2 jacks with a regulator from one of my 300 Bar dive cylinders and it goes up a treat
There is no flex in the floor whatsoever and I have sent it up and down about 10 times already.
When I do find someone to make my cage I will have braces but for now the jacks I am confident will operate with no adverse affects
50bar of pressure in one hit when your on double stands is a tad scarey!!!!!

Not had much time to play again lately. However started to do some work on the manifolds....
Back when I put the engine in I just cut the long extension off so at a later stage I could extend them into the correct location.
Here is a picture of 1 standard manifold
So I started by roughly tacking one of the collectors into the correct position on the RH side of the car.
The collector from the LH side almost fitted perfectly on the RH side upside down it exited under the subframe at the side of the gearbox just like a UR and S2.
However once it was tacked it was physically impossible to remove the header without first removing a half shaft and then lifting the engine above the chassis rails. Also if I wanted to get the gearbox in and out in the future I would not be able to get the bell housing past the downpipe and therefore all together will not do.
So then Mike suggested why don't I connect the 2 small downpipes together with stainless V bands so I could just remove the downpipe separate to the headers.
This would have worked just fine and I have ordered a pair of V bands to use if I do go down this route.
Meanwhile, I have been struggling to get the absolute measurements for the crank position sensor. So another friend came over today to stick his S5 on the ramp so that I could have a look. Unfortunately the gearbox in these are different again and the crank position sensor is right on the bottom of the bell housing. One awesome thing about these boxes is that the driveshaft outputs are virtually touching the engine right up against the end of the bell housing. This means if someone wanted to mount their engine and box rearwards another 5 to 6 inches to shift weight, with this box it would be possible.
However whilst I was under there I could not help but notice that the exhaust manifolds looked almost exactly what I need.
So a quick search on the net and I have found these. They are again on the way from Germany so when they get here I will update you as to whether they fit or not
