ive got one on me 200 vega but converted it to solid mount as i had a feeling being rubber mounted and stainless it would fall to bits, recently had it dynoed to check the air fuel ratio and found out the exhaust kills it at just over 6000 rpm so its going on ebay

Not only around the manifold,but as you can see, two of the welds on the main exhaust cracked aswell.

sterlings are not solid mount they use rubber mounts on the side casing and springs on the mainbox to manifold join

This one did have the springs, but no rubber mounts on the side casing.
