Is there anything else on the market other than the stock manifold it comes with?

This machined CNC inlet manifold is available from LTH in Germany, the same but cast used to be available through a guy called 'Jimmers' in the UK a couple of years ago but I don't know how or where you'd find on of those now.
I have one of these on my Monza 225 which besically uses the same inlet and am very satisfied. Also puts the carb a bit further away from the panel if that's an issue.

This LH-manifold 'might' also work but you would have to enquire with Marco for compatibility on an Imola-barrel.

Just a quick question a TS inlet has a small hole to the front underneath to pull down the inlet, does this have that hole (doesn’t look like it in photos )

Bugger! This may post twice as hit the wrong button!
just fitted the RH short version to a TS1, only three bolts as you say but no air leaks when tested. Nice bit of kit.

Which version have you got?I can see it being an issue with the inlet manifold where the reed sits into it but earlier ones should be a straight swap with anything that fits a TS1.

Bought new 2011 not sure which version it is. Can fit a standard TS reed block in it. You can only use a TS manifold if you weld up the hole on the underside of the manifold.
Having never used V force reeds would these fit in here? My imola reed block shook itself apart and sent one of the screws into the cylinder ferkin everything

just thought you could tap the hole thread a bolt in with stud lock and file flush that would work

I'm sure the tuning people get them to fit, with a bit of "fettling" of course.
Most of the newer manifolds now only come with 3 holes, you're not the first person to lose a screw. It's never been an issue with leak tests.
I'd consult with Chris Sturgess or Darrell Taylor.
If your lost screw was one of the small ones holding the petals in place then the V Force will cure that as it doesn't have any.

I’m not too bothered about whether it’s 3 or 4 hole just that it needs to be 3 imola wise, pretty certain it’ll seal with 3.
Wot you got on the invisible shelf cuz corrado (Inlet & reed wise)?

I like the new MB manifold with attached rubber, good for frame clearance and panel clearance, it's got 4 holes though.
