OK, no one has replied and I think that it is, as with me, when the restrictors were removed they were chucked away. I doubt you will find what you are looking for as second hand because when they are removed they tend to get destroyed/damaged and I doubt they are available as new. Instead, you might need to consider getting a replacement inlet manifold which still has restrictors in place. Perhaps swapping with someone has has them and doesn't want them.

I have seen them on e-bay. I think it was ex USA and the guy wanted serious money. Also I believe I found them by accident on one UK L-R parts site. Once again they weren't cheap.

Simple logic these days... if you need this kind of part then you are probably desperate, so cough up.


I'm just waiting till the local laws change and demand emission testing. Virtually everything from July 1976 > early 1980s will be off the road.

Hi :) Thank you for your reply.
slightly damaged, has nothing to say.
Then I can use them as a template to create new ones.

But who sells such new restrictorer?
Is there any Internet shop that would take them?

I will be removing mine shortly, so I will take more care and make sure I don't damage them.
Yours for the Postage to Norwya!

Hi Boer,

I've checked my spare manifold and restrictors are gone and they have also been removed from V8 in current re-build!

So I can't help you. Sorry!

They're not holes, it's four Venturis of about 1/2" ID.
