Is this what the inlet manifolds should look like?

Makes sense. Couldn't get the oculars in that far...

Drew400:
Nice one Tom & Steven,

I'll check them properly next time I'm in the garage... not for a few days, sadly.

Cheers, D.

Hi all,

Finally got around to fitting these and hopefully the carbs, only to be disappointed (what's new?).

One of them broke (i.e. the rubber split in half across the middle) and so I assume they're rather old and that the rubber has hardened. There's evidence of perishing around some of their edges. I have thus bitten the bullet and ordered a set of new ones from DSS.

I'm hoping that the new ones will be pliable and allow me to push the carbs into them after fastening the rubbers to the block. Is that wishful thinking? There was no way I could put enough pressure on the old ones to do that! Difficult to warm them up in situ and I don't really want to wait for a hot day in summer to do it.

Any hints here much appreciated before next weekend's pleasure and frustration session in the man cave!

Thank you,

D.

I was going to say that Cruzinmage do then at about £25 a set.

Place the rubbers in hot water for a while before you try assembly.
