I have an other elbow riser in better condition than the one thats on the manifold now. when i went to put the new riser on one side of the foot of the casting had a much narrower are that didnt really cover the full area where it sits . I circled the area in this picture this is not the actual riser. This one is like my old one the newer one has a muchthinner piece of cast iron there. Whats the story witht this its like the two risers are exactly the same except by the foot. regardless Im buying a brand new oem one not going to beat myself up over this..... this boating is expensivo.
