ah well hes a update
decided i'd convert the kit car to the SU 1 1/4 carb as i know it very well, i bought the manifold to allow it to fit
to fit the manifold you have to undo two of the head nuts and screw the studs on, then the manifold slides down them and you use one bolt at the back too.........well thats whats suppost to happen
it was a huge pain to fit the manifold, i ended up hoaning out the holes because they didnt quite line up with the studs and then i had to do the same with the rear hole.......then i had to grind down the back edge as it hit the rocker cover not allowing the manifold to sit flat.....
manifold fitted
got a carb, a early SU without the breather as it won't be needed, just test fitting it, removed the original throttle linkage, just waiting for parts to rebuild the carb
next pain in the ar*e was the thermostat, ive never seen the flap open since ive got it, removed the tin ware
then found out my thermostat was a all in one version which i guess it what was originally fitted! also trying to get the rod off it broke......so ive now bought a thermostat plate, new rod and nut for it....just got to wait for them to arrive now
so heres the update and none of the jobs i started ive managed to finish yet........great........lol
