So had it running on the bike carbs,eventually! After lots of messing about that is !! But it went well,ish! but sounded great..till they carbs popped of the silicon hoses😔 So I'm going to re design the inlet again and bolt them back on at a later date. So for now the twin webber is back on it.. Most recent photos I have of it. Enjoy     |

great shot pete.. bet it sounded sweet on the carbs! any plans for a front bumper (or 1/4's)? just looks a little odd with one on the tail but not the nose. |

think 1/4's would work really well , balance it up.

So I went with full front bumper in the end. And the lower spec pop front grill.. And I think it works   Also made a start on some banded steels for it. To pop on at a later date   And vinyl painted the rear seat black.    Still little bits to do. But now able to get out and use it .. |

Looks good; a full width bumper always makes the car look wider, lower and finished.

It may be a bit late now but shouldn't the carb float bowls (at the bottom) be horizontal / parallel to the floor rather than angled as it's in a basic form the same as fitting 4 Stromberg carbs and I know those don't perform if the float chambers are not level?
Nice work on getting the manifold built.

Was tonight. And still not happy with them.!! Still seems thats it's only running on 3 at ideal and has a flat spot mid range! Might just stick the twin choke back on. |

I did original fit them with the bowls level but looking at how they sit on the bike they came off and speaking with others seems there about right and it doesn't really make much difference! |

they are generally canted on bikes , i believe , plus think of the angles they run at in cornering. stick at it pete , you will crack it!
