Twin 40 parts

[Matty Winslade]

Hello all, im just in the process of purchasing a set of TWin 40 dellorto DHLA carbs and am wondering what other parts I need to install them!!?? My car is a mk1 1.4 SR

I'll have the carbs and the manifold.
I have ordered a head > manifold gasket from vauxhall... Is this the right gasket I need ?
Also I need to buy a throttle linkage which I'm gettin from euro carbs! I'm having them serviced and set up properly but way else do I need to install them?? an alternator lowering bracket ,.... And I'm sure Someone Said that I might need an "early alternator" ....I didn't think that my alternator was different lol!! Am I missing anything out here guys ?? To complete installation!!
Thanks all

dizzy? if it hasnt already got one.
alternator lowering bracket is essential, you will see why once fitted.

possibly need a vacuum pipe to go from manifold to the brake servo.
possibly change the routing of the fuel pipes

if its injection atm, you will need to block off one of the fuel lines as there will be a return (i think this is right!)
a fuel pressure regulator. filter kings are the best.
and a deep pocket for the fuel!
