Ordered myself some new Twin 40 webber's today. Got them from a supplyer in dublin, apparently the last set in southern ireland :o There's a world shortage of them at the moment, and the prices are rising!

?610 retail. Said they were for Stock in my work, and gave them our vat no. Got them for ?480, bargin!

Steven's got me a manifold, and just need linkage, fuel pump and regulator! I'll also be running a Piper 285 cam, along with the other engine work. Should put out a nice figure when finished :D
