Either this: https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-LKJ101110 for the plastic manifold (or any of the alternatives listed here https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001204 in terms of OEM, aftermarket etc. - your choice). Or this: https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-LKJ100821 for the aluminium manifold.

I was advised to put a bit of instant gasket, the silicone stuff, around the two waterway 'hoops'.

Should you be interested I do a specially designed inlet gasket for TBs , it has larger diameter holes for RTBs and the raised inlet manifold flange on the MS and VVC heads.

My car has never had a inlet manifold gasket, I didn't know it was supposed too!

Either this: https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-LKJ101110 for the plastic manifold...

Mine's an 1800 K, not VVC, plastic manifold.

That one from Rimmer Bros (LKJ101110) looks like this:

But the one from Caterham Parts looks like this (although it isn't specified as VVC/ VVC,  nor plastic/ aluminium) and I can't see the other type:

Which do I need?

Thanks

And of course it was. Thanks again.

Bought from Rimmer Bros, delivered by first class post two working days later and now fitted. 

Caterham Parts replied to say that they only supply it in this head gasket set, not by itself.
