Bit of an update
I fitted a 4 branch manifold which is the worst job i've done on this car so far! I drove the car for a week and the radiator blew directly in the centre and water went every where, and at the same time the front stromberg carb decided to pee out fuel due to a float valve... couldn't make this stuff up
so at that point i thought sod it.. off with the carbs and fit the twin Dellorto 48's
i don't have a throttle pedal as the twin cable linkage set up, doesn't make sense on the throttle end, as its a giant square block... and from what i gathered from dellorto's pdf of the twin cable set up, you have to do some chopping and welding to your pedal
which i thought sod that! But anyway here is a picture of the engine bay so far. I'm still in the process of getting the car to run right with them.
Also a big thanks goes out to David Maxwell, for helping me out with information on the carbs.
I also have a little surprise which only 1 member has known about! over the past 3 months i've been gradually reproducing some GT parts. It's always bugged me that many people have wanted parts for there GT's, but not many people have really pushed to have anything remade.. so i've took out most of my spare time and money, to making my own moulds and casting parts, which i found takes a lot more time and money than i first thought
all the prototypes i've made, are cast in semi impact plastic and they are cast from original parts.
so far i've made steering wheel centres as pictured/ Bonnet scoop trims/ i'm in the process of making centre console speaker panel and the centre console switch/handbrake panel. It will be a while until i start selling them and they will be sold at cost with no profit at all, as i'd rather just help out the club and benefit from the feeling of helping others
I'll keep things posted when i can
