I've got a Complete VV Carb on a Capri manifold. Came off my 1600. I know it had a new diaphragm just before it was swapped for a 32/36 Weber. My advice would be to Weber yours, but you can have the complete manifold and carb for the price of the postage, as it's just in the way!

PM Me!

Where abouts in the country are you White Van Woman? I have a VV on the manifold just sitting there too, it was off my 1989 2.0 Transit, your if you want it..

Rover.

Better still... Why not have both...

[FredTransit]

I can't understand why you have found the alternatives unsatisfactory. The VV has always been looked down on, and widly replaced as they were poor, which is why you are having trouble finding one (aprt fom on here!). The best replacement is the standard single choke webber, designed as a direct replacement for the VV, I am not talking about the webber twin choke, which is a good replacement but needs a different manifold to fit it.
