iv got my hands on 3 cheap webber 45's which i want to make into the throttle bodies,

iv got a manifold with injector holes,

surely its not as simple as making an TPS and holder and linkage,
wont i have to remove things from the carbs and block holes up ect: ?

edit, yes i have managment!

Why not clean up and over haul the 45's, flog em and buy some proper bodies? What are 45's going for on ebay these days?

i belive the carbs can go on as is, jsut no fuel supply.

Im sure a google would turn something up as lots of people bastarised carbs to make home brew TB setups before jenveys became more affordable.

but to be honest baxter, i can almost garuntee that you wont do it :p
