I have the same manifolds as you MorkC68 i have solex carbs on , aftermarket ones probably .They have blanking plugs in at present , i wonderd what they were for , all makes sense now Zed saying they were for fuel injection . Bit of a bugger really was hoping i could tap in for servo attachment on one of them as i don't have servo , seems the one you need is the single port on the upper necks of the manifold . Can you buy them individually or are they sold only in kit form i wonder ? I like the bracket you made up for the HX support attached to the exhaust flange ...must make one myself not many have those fitted , i wonder if they are an available part .Finally i like your engine stand what make is it, i will have to look it up cheers .
I'll have a read of the instructions for the kit, see what they say, out of curiosity! I'm not sure if they are sold individually or not, it'll be online somewhere! I wouldn't have known about the hx support 'cept I saw one over on the samba last weekend. The engine stand is Clarke, downside the four mounts don't line up properly, we had to make a mounting plate which will also work on gearboxes!
Well the build is almost complete and ready to install, just a few pieces of tinware to fit and we're done. In the meantime, the alternator is in situ Type 1 thermostat installed and operating the flaps as it should Heat Exchangers in place Vintage Speed offered up & looking good
the gearbox is of to Bears on Monday, 10 day turn a round then fingers crossed we can plan a swap over
Are you installing the small aluminium flaps that go at the out let's of the fan shroud ? All looks very smart ...vintage speed exhaust looks sweet
Good glad they fit , didn't see them in pics so wondered ! My build is very compact ,busy , yours looks sweet and clean . Did you make a new alt loom ?
What've you painted the HXs with? If it's exhaust high temp paint, then I'd use something else, as it'll not last long and they go rusty dead quick!! @Owen Snell , what're your HXs looking like since I painted them in engine enamel?
