I'm trying to blank off/remove this ridiculous pulsair / detox system on the V8 in my trialer. Famous Four do a blanking kit but it explicitly says its not for engines with 3 pulsair pipes per head, and unfortunately that's what mine has :( https://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/ff_part?part=14242

Short of chopping the pipes off and welding them shut, or swapping the heads, is there another way of binning this pile of crap? Emissions are the last thing on my mind for trialing!
 
Well I have found some more info out about this through heavy research...so thought I would report back in case anyone else is in the same boat.

There does/did exist a blanking plug, part number ETC6474, which is either listed as NLA or around £7 each inc vat which I'm not too keen on considering I need 6. See attached drawing for reference.

I now plan on dismantling some of the pipes and trying to find out the thread size instead, if I sort it out, I'll report back with what thread it is :)
