I *may* get a mate to pick these up. What are these like as an equivalent to the SUs, and do you reckon the SUs are better or are they on a par?

The principle they work on is the same as the SUs. I prefer SU's myself partly because I've had much more experience of them and feel some of the differences (like rubber diapragms instead of piston/spring) are perhaps different so they didn't apear to be direct copies rather than being a superior later design.

I'd like these, but unfortunately I won't be able to pick them up for quite a while - at least 4 weeks, up to 10 weeks depending on whether I go home this term or not.
If you want them gone and can get rid of them sooner, then that's fine. However, if you don't mind hanging onto them for a while then I'd collect them as soon as I can.

EDIT - that is definitely an Imp manifold, but the air filters are non-standard.

Well, I can store them for a while but would just like to see them go someone who might use them.

If they are in reasonable nick (specifically the spindle wear) then I'd use them (I have 2 Imps, with a sport-ish spec engine for one of them), if they are beyond economical repair I'd use the fannymold and a pair of SUs.

I have an Imp and I would love the air filters if you could send them my way (p&p going your way)? Or if you could post the lot courier? And I would pay p&p for that too?
Cheers,
Dean

I'll leave them on this occasion Seth, as I'm sure someone else will use them better than myself . |

That's pretty much it.. Due to availability of SUs at the time and not being able to infringe patents on the piston design. There's quite an interesting write up about the development of the CD carbs (and the bloke that designed it) in a recent TSSC magazine because they used them on the 13/60 and possibly some other Triumphs. I do apologise, I shouldn't go taking threads off on a tangent, do carry on. |
