looks nice ... that engine bay looks familiar :D  I have one just like it in green ;)

I don\'t think anyone makes a hose kit for the 1st gen off the shelf
Title: 4 or 6 port?

Yes I did by the elford kit you pointed out, its off one of our members.  We are just trying to gather all the bits to fit it.

I need to know if its a 4 or 6 port engine.

How can you tell?

all UK supplied 12a\'s are 4 port engines. Only a very few are 6 ports as they were available in Japan only (Phranque has one though :) )
