I do like these group buy offers, it's great people are prepared to put themselves out for other TLB members. Sadly I've already got 36 drla twins sitting in my shed, otherwise I'd be all over this group buy. Where would you buy the manifold and linkage kit from? Think I've seen em for £200 on vw heritage but wondered if someone knew of a better price.
Just wondered are you sure these are DHLA carbs? If so they are horizontally mounted. I ran DHLA carbs on a mk2 escort years ago. The DRLA are the ones which will fit our vans as they are mounted vertically.
DHLA are sidedraft carbs. We need downdraft ones for our buses. Unless DHLA carbs were also available as a downdraft? Joker, are they side or downdraft carbs?
oh forgot to say i be interested would prefer option 1 but not sure which bus there going on yet so may need a smaller set to suit a 1600
option 2 please as a deffo ....im cash only person lately ........please mr tax man ...blink for a minute while scrolling ...looooooool
joker I'm interested be it option 1 or 2, but as some of the others I'm running a 1600 tp, so if some suitables can be sourced I'm in
Joker, like most I assumed the DHLA was a typo on your part and your getting DRLA carbs. If they are DHLA's then count me out. Sorry. If DRLA I'm still in.
Hi Joker, can you clear up the DRLA / DHLA confusion? I would imagine that DHLA's are going to be of limited use to most folks on here... If they are DHLA's then in the words of the Dragons, I'm afraid I'm out too!
DRLAs are what you need. Re size for a 1600: 40s should also be fine...they're just physically bigger to accomodate bigger venturis. Everything related to operation of the carb is configurable, so with 28mm venturis and suitable jetting they should be fine on a 1600.
