I had the exhaust loose to do a manifold gasket and noticed it had been rubbing the battery cable after a nut had somehow wedged between the two (and welded itself to the exhaust, oops) .. that cable has now been relocated but despite fiddling its still rubbing on the floor in that area, its the y-piece/ collector rubbing the start of the tunnel.

 it seems just enough here, but once its warm/running it rubs just a bit at idle.. Don't want to stress the manifold seal on the gasket.

Its an LCB just to clarify.

 

 

I have good bushes on both steadies and the upper is adjustable.

Has the Manifold been replaced since new ?

Its an LCB, not a stock one, car originally had the cast one piece manifold

Is it a 1300 or an 850 / 1000 / 1100 small bore engine?

Manifolds can be different heights due to block hight differences. Also if you have used an adjustable top engine steady it can cause issues.

 

at least it is not dragging on the ground.

Have you got the adjustable steady adjusted so it's tilting the engine forward more than normal?
This would cause the Y piece and everything attached to move up into the tunnel.

 I had it a bit forward for carb clearance,  that makes sense, I'll move it back. Should I just adjust it to where the engine wants to sit?
