[Luke]

[mealic]

Yes he has Luke, you pilot drilled them for him, I reckon his keeping them for a surprise for us

yes they are in shed- can drill out t5he 13mm holes, but i neede a 60degree metal counter sinker. think ill ask captain hook nicely if he'll get his man with a metal shop to finish the holes!

I know someone that has one Robbie.If you could come along to the next Makeover and help bring some of the stuff from your way I`m sure that he might be there and lend it to `ya.How`s Emma these days?

Righto, thanks to Browny, for spotting this on ebay,








Bit of brasso cleaned it up well enough, just wish i owned a small/large car parts washer would be great, but "not til i've got a garage to put it in..."

More elbow grease then!

My neighbour Ade said he will help me fit it sunday.
few extra pipes on the manifold, dunno what goes where- looks like therre is a water port in the inlet manifold?? is this right??

[Luke]

are you on about the pipe you can see in the pic it's the auto choke that uses the water temperature

[robbie.cee]

i see the water pipe from auto choke - goes bk into lower block of manifold???
also what is the middle hole for - threaded 1/2 " approx
and looks like vac spur too on far right?


cheers m8

[robbie.cee]

Any one got an idea what those other connections are for?

[captain hook]

Yeah

[robbie.cee]

it looks like ill have to remove heater pipe, attach to choke , but the water from the choke goes thru another pipe, not bk to heater but into the manifold. theres an extra hole between the air ports i guess its a water port- bout inch by half inch rectangle?? is this a water cooled manifold?

help appreciated!
