Anyone know where i can get hold of one of these, my local motor spares do not supply them neither do my local halfords.

I am after a twin gauge one.

Thanks

mate u REALLY should take the engine to a RR

mike oxford did what your trying to do by fixing it all himself and ended up fucking some piston rings

i SERIOUSLY advise taking the car to a rolling road and getting them setup properly

the carbs will need blancing. so if hes capable then let him go for it. jsut you will have to take it to a RR at some point lol

its been 2 places for a RR in my area and theyve just completely f00ked me off/about, saying that things are wrong when theyre not and im gettin absolutely p!ssed off with it.

I wanna attempt to carry it out myself, if it costs me a new engine then so be it but from now on am doing things myself and not takin it somewhere.

Right all i want to know if where can i get a balancing kit from, ive got the guide off here to help me with the rest of it setting them up even if they dont run to their full 100% capabilities I am pretty sure i can get them running well.

Anyone know any places where i can order/buy one from?

Thanks

pick up a copy of practical classics and check their suppliers adverts. lots of older cars (Lotus, MG etc) had twin carbs as std.

where have you been for the tune up's mate?

from the reputations ive heard of and your story i'd say, a certain place on morley rd, chad. and a certain other place on stores rd, in town??

try velos or speak to CP on here and see if he can do it for you

go to burton on the a38 and come off at first burton exit, head into burton, past pirelli, keep going over 2/3 islands untill you get to 1 way system follow to the right and then left at the t junction. turn right at island and stay on that road in to the sticks. you will eventually come to a big new island, take the exit before the garage and then take the next right following signs for anslow. velos is in anslow but i'm not sure where
