Swift DB-2 & 5 Intake Manifold cover thingy (Rare?)

Swift DB-2 & 5 Fiberglass Intake manifold “Thing” & Tooling (molds)
For the Vintage Swift owner that needs everything. I don’t remember how long ago I made this out of polyester fiberglass. You get the two piece part that goes around the intake and sits right at the opening of the stock Swift tail scoop opening. Plus the tooling to make more! If you are clever with fiberglass and can talk all the other Swift DB-2 & DB-5 owners into thinking it’s the trick thing to have, you could make Hundred’$ making and selling them.
You pay the shipping & handling I will box it up and send it cheap, signature required. I will take a personal check
(show me the Checky)
$40

Tom,

I've never seen one of these. Is this like a clam shell that covers the carb and intake manifold?
Do you remember who you made it for?

Hi Steve-
You are correct
I made it for myself from an old one i found and repaired to make the the tool for the mold. Then I made the one part thinking one day someone would want one.
In the past I have made a lot of stuff for the Swifts & Lola's.
More to be revealed as I downsize my collection.
Thanks for asking

I automatically thought you made them to go live in Malibu!

I should have tried to learn a little from you while I was there. Now I'm in TN with a bunch of unique vehicles and no one to help make stuff for them! Oh well, I'll just have to make another order from England!
