Default 4wd inlet what rail?

Will a 2wd rail and reg fit a 4x4 inlet manifold or will I need to use a 4x4 rail and reg?

I did te same but didn't tig weld new brackets on just used a structural adhesive and not had any problems.

Will take a pic when I get a sec, it's what we use on the 12c's so good enough for a fuel rail
