the nifty exhaust manifolds installed on this MG-TC special's XPAG race engine.
(I can't read the logo that's cast into the manifold. It's partly obstructed, and the contrast isn't good.
When I zoom in, it sortof looks like it might say "Jett".)
I'm looking for a brand name, model number, where-to-buy, and/or any performance comments I can get. Thanks!

You can buy a tubular Derrington-type from Abingdon Spares:

Thanks Ed. I'd seen those links already, but I don't think they identify the part or its manufacturer.
Here's another part that has me temporarily stumped: What's mounted to the top of this MG Midget's shock absorbers?
I've got thousands of photos like these... collecting captions for them is the hard part.

Curtis,proportioning valve?I know there were some guys fooling around with remote reservoirs,don't know the outcome.
Thanks guys. I've gotten in touch with Peter and learned all about his nifty external-valve adjustable shock absorbers.
I've also learned that the two-piece iron manifold on the blue MG TC was made by a company called "Solt". Very old and rare...
Soon, both these cars will be featured in new articles on British Race Car (dot com).
The shock is an adjustable lever unit. Later lever shocks were available in adjustable format but these have been modified from original non-adjustable units.
The exhaust manifold was manufactured in Burbank, CA by a company called Huth, who were also the manufacturer of "Hollywood Glaspac" mufflers. $79.95 would get you the manifold, two headers, two Glaspac mufflers and two over-sized tail pipes.
