Were extractors standard on V6?

Hi Guys
I just took my car for relicensing and they said I need a permit for the extractors, but I thought they were fitted from factory on the v6.  Does anyone know if they were standard or not, and if standard, any documentation I can show them.
Thanks

I was just going to suggest the workshop manual. If you know someone who has one, borrow it for your next visit. I think you can still buy one from your Ford dealer, but they are reprints and poor quality (think old photocopier).

They weren’t called extractors, simply exhaust manifolds. One of the scans that accapmad has sent may have the factory description from the manual.

”A free-flow two-branch exhaust manifold fabricated from welded steel tubes is used for each bank of cylinders, and is secured to the cylinder head by bolts through steel flanges welded to the pipe ends on the outside of the V. Each manifold has seperate pipes of equal length for each cylinder, and these are joined together at a junction box to form a common outlet. A cast flange, for connection to the exhaust system, is held captive by the flared end of the common outlet.”

...........another amazing fact of the Mk1 GTV6 !  ..............I've been a mechanic all my life, and know of NO OTHER mass produced vehicle even close to this "Price Bracket" that ever came out standard with Extractors, in lieu of heavy Cast Iron Headers as seen on every car ever made (I repeat: in this "Price Bracket" lest howls of indignation should ensue for expensive Sports Cars!)
You really have to wonder what Ford was thinking as to why only the famous GTHO PIII was endowed with Extractors when the basic GT with 4V heads would have performed so much more with them.   Maybe just as well, as they would have succumbed to el-cheapo versions as they did on the Capri GTV6 for the sake of the almighty dollar.
I've been told on many occasions that the factory Extractors on the GTV6 were so flimsy, they barely made it past the 12 month factory warranty !

From the parts book.

There are a few typos/errors where a V4 part is shown or described in the V6 manual, but I just put that down to human error.

Let us know how you go.

I still have the original extractors.
Yes , I have welded up some pinholes using the oxy, most recently this year.
Fingers crossed, they'll last another 47yrs in our dry inland climate.  

We decided to do the sump gasket properly which allowed me to get a good pic of the extractors.  My mechanic who worked at Ford dealerships in the 70's reckons there is a good chance that these are original.  I don't know but different collector to the Pacemakers.
 
One of the things the inspector is going to check is that the position of the collector matches the position of the collector in the parts book so I think I got lucky with this one. 

Jeez, these inspectors get my goat. It's a piece of bent tubing - why should they care whether it's factory original or not?
