Colin Lindsay Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 There are a range of adaptors that allow fitment of anything from Stromberg to SU or even Weber onto the original 1200 manifold. They come up online occasionally. Otherwise you can swap the manifold and as long as it fits the head, and doesn’t affect the exhaust bit ( unless you want to change that, too) you can fit a huge range of alternatives. I have a drawerful of alternatives that I never got round to fitting; maybe one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Nolan Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Thanks Colin, I like the look of that. I am looking for a quick fix for now. I have got a set of new old stock twin SUs but I need to see how they fit etc. I see if I can get my mits on a Stromberg adapter. On a different matter, did you get the white estate finished, I think you had it on the long finger but may have it finished by now, it looked like a great car. Thanks your help and photo.

Very very long finger, Ken, there's thread running on it in the Restoration section. It should have been finished long ago hence the 'embarrassing' bit in the title.

Ken Nolan Posted August 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 If you are getting distracted I would be very happy to complete it, it’s a fine car. I check out the restoration section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball bearing fell out so no vacumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 For that price even adding carriage, it's not worth the petrol going out to try to find a bike shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
