The main difficulty in making a manifold for bike carbs is getting the angle that the carbs sit at right, they have to sit at the same angle as on the bike they came off for the floats to work correctly. That and getting the four tubes spaced correctly so that you don't have to start fiddling with spacers between each carb and extending the various linkages to suit.
well i've got a weber 32/34, that came with my new engine, the only problem is it needs a rebuild, my engine has also been rebored to a 1500 so it should be quite nippyQuote:

niceone, cheers mate, i'd prefer to have the weber fitted than the pierburg ****e lol
quick update........ heres the only rotton part of the car, the slam panel as usual.
its gone were the slam panel meets the inner wings, one side has bucked after the bonnet was dropped on it, the head lamp also paid the price. Do'hhhhh. its a good job i have a replacement head lamp and slam panel

i've noticed the price is shooting up now people are cottoning on to what they do (like T40's only cheaper) but yea, you have have to get friendly with a metal fabricator for the manifold.Quote:

yeah i know what your saying, the more popular the carbs become, the higher the prices
well the engines finally out, me and my mate man handled the block and gear box out under neath the car lol, only one side of the car was jacked up so god knows how it came out but it did, now i can get the new engine ready and bug hendrix for a gearbox lol
heres some pics of the car minus its crappy engine and 4 speed box, the chassis legs and inner wings are great, much better than my old nova

reminds me of when i reshelled mine hehehe
coming along, slowly but surely aint it :D
