why do you want to replace them ?
they sure seem like the most indestructible plastic on earth to me. ( I
hammer them into hard ground for tent stakes ....just joking......but they
could withstand that I bet ) .

I have seen thousands of them and never seen a problem with one.
I have about 40 good used ones in stock.

the aluminum ones ....very nice..
except for one thing ..if it's like the ones I have seen a picture of. .
if their idea is to have a small fuel pressure on there full time..
from a safety viewpoint I can't go along with that all.
 There is NO factory car with a fuel pressure gauge on the engine full time.
That would just be unsafe in a crash ..duh.

you know the old rule..
if it can screw up ...eventually it will.
if fitted on an engine ..a fuel pressure guage.......eventually one will get
damaged in a crash and leak fuel around.

Subject: Which fuel distribution manifold?

84 Westy 1.9L WBXR Manual

I need to replace my original fuel distribution manifolds.

Preference? The alternate aluminum units from our esteemed suppliers? Or a
pair of used black plastic ones (OE)?

Thank you for your opinions and why's.
