Just a follow up on this problem : exhaust manifold for a Sierra 2.0i DOHC on a LHD chassis. I add this post mostly as a reference for future builders (but who else than a French guy living in Sweden will build a LHD car with a 2.0i DOHC from a Sierra )

I made a set-up with an elbow as I said on the previous post. I reused the 2-in-1 tube I did previously, and inserted a 90° elbow.

This was not satisfying at all : the exhaust pipe is in deed too close to the master cylinder and brake lines. Except using a heat shield without being sure it will be enough to protect the brake fluid to overheat, I can't see any way to use the original Sierra DOHC exhaust manifold on a LHD Roadster.
