yes they shrink had one i took off stored for a few years ended up like yours . did close better when left out on a very hot summers day. beware pulling it tight on the screen catches can cause problems latter on with door shutting l learnt the hard way paul

better to start on choke drive the car push the choke in as soon as the car will run with out it less engine wear that way .

the 1600 does have the small output flange, box will not fit though

you only know the true condition when you actually see it , i sold a very nice looking vitesse 1600 for £4000 a while back it was a peace of sh.t chassis wise like a patchwork quilt , then turned up a few months latter for sale by a well known classic dealer describing it as a gem one of the best for £16000 took him 2 years but he sold it , pity the new owner .
