thats the good one

the single outlet is smaller but still has the same heat box thingy

the extractors will need a whole new system up front

so i'll plate it first

and save me cash

Or you could sell your body to the well heeled ladies of Twickers...

"there was a young lady from Twickers..."

sorry, I went off on one there...

And with the huge amount of money you will make, get yourself three 45 DCOE webers and a custom made six branch with a dual exhaust system.

Lovely.

Now that's the way to do it!

Yep. Three twin choke Webers. That is the way to do it.

i've got 2 40s and 4 36s in the garage but they are all down draught and a bit small (scrap yards in italy are great
dellorto weber carburettori written on a bit of paper and they turn up with a box full and sell it to ya for £50.....) My mrs thought i was going to west drayton

a-ha

I have in my possiesion a plate of purest steel

115mm by 75mm and faced up smooth

all for £2 (well he shouldn't have said a couple of quid should he)

http://www.lentonenginnering.co.uk

handy if you are in watford and need somthing today

nice fellas

shop full of machines and swarf

nice array of callendars grace the walls

decent stock of angle, flat plate in aluminium and steel
few big billets of aluminium brass and other alloys

were doing turbo housings for for bentleys

and some big alloy girdle things for something else automotive

will work from drawings on the back of fag packets if need be, but like a nice blueprint if available

could do axles etc if not too long but are not sure if they can spline the ends for a wide enough range of spline sizes. like one to copy if no drawing avialble

do hardening treatements and good value plateing (presume off site)

tops

my day is made

That's a result!

I'm absolutely delighted to hear that British engineers can still be found...I usually end up doing everything myself...which takes me ages.

Petit Fleur...that's another of your hits wasn't it?

Woolies graphite looks like the go

one of the first 3

looks good for the hole in the top of the door that the windows goes up n down in

all 3 look better than the rubbish that gets sold as standard replacemnt in OZ

but for the roof line over the door you need the proper made in OZ seal

its a huge thing held on with a big plastic or metal trim
it runs from screen bottom edge all the way back to the back part of your rear side window
