The ones I have taken off Once flatten have more of an angle than the new ones!

Problem for me is are the ones that came off correct. I don’t have roof or doors so it would not have mattered.  I have just purchased doors so it has to be right.

can anyone measure the angle of the window support.

I purchased new windscreen supports as the old ones were rusty.

The angle is a lot different from the ones I took off, this meaning the windscreen will have less of an angle leaning back.

Anyone else had this?  

Many thanks for the picture shows everything I wanted to know.

Has anyone got pictures of the hinges fitted to the car and doors?

I have bought doors and the stainless hinges from kit spares.

many thanks

Just adjusted tappets  new idle jets and balanced the carbs again .  Took my boy out after school and his grin was bigger than mine.

Thanks Alan,  yes it’s been a long road and it has cost me some cash but I have learnt so much and now have the car running wel feels great.  

Doing major work to my house so car has been left for awhile.  New F8 55 idle jets came through the post on Thursday.  Had time today to install them and balance the carbs today.  Boy oh boy she is running well from standing still throughout the acceleration range.  Loads of power and lots of torque.

Big thank you to Daniel Clark and Dave Andrews.

The two strips at the back are for the sides.

cut it as the picture and you won’t go wrong

Hi Craig your more than welcome.

regards Tony 

Pair of Sabelt 4 point harness used but still ok.

Free to club member just pay for postage.

Finally got my car back on the road...... I could not setup the twin Weber’s I had so bought brand new Weber’s and got her running.  The issue was I do not understand or had enough knowledge to get them set up to idle properly.

if anyone wants to buy my old Weber’s please contact me. See pictures below.

bring on end of lockdown and hopefully get to some events and meet people again.

I would like to thank everyone again for all there help and support.

Hi all, Newbie here....this is my first ownership of a kitcar and was something I've always wanted and this particular car too..... It so happens that this one was hiding in a yard all of 20metres from where I worked....It was as built a few years ago but never put through an IVA? .....After some haggling and agreeing to £500.....I will be attempting to getting it running tomorrow.....I'd like to show you but I'm on my mobile and it won't let me for some reason 

Welcome John!

Still haven't got around to fitting your bike carbs yet Tony, hope it goes a bit smoother for me than the toil you've had with the twin webbers

Harry

Do you want to sell them back to me?

Still having issues but think we are making headway.  The eBay seller said the were 151’s and a receipt in the Webcon for 2 151 Weber dcoe. Someone had ground off the serial and type number????  Speaking to Eurocarb and sending them pictures and videos they said they were not 151’s.  
there were no mixture screws when they arrive and I purchase 4 new 151 mixture screws.  These are a different to the older mixture screw.

I have order the older type and they should be here tomorrow.

hopefully will have good news. This has been a long road and felt like giving up but had to keep trying.

My car is coming back together after a few months hard work.

very happy with what I have achieved albeit the wife’s not happy with the the bank account.......

Got my newly rebuilt pinto with twin Weber dcoe 40’s running today and it now idles...

I want to thank everyone that has helped and advised it’s been a long road and I almost gave up.

I bought accuspark coil leads and plugs these were very poor quality and purchased Champion spark plugs Bosh coil and Burton power leads.  
The floats were not set right and I did not know about the 1.2mm gap on the spacers when tightening the carbs to the manifold.

new jets arriving tomorrow and hopefully get to drive it soon.

Thanks Richie I think I will end up doing what you said as my car grounds out a lot.  

Should there be a angle iron or something similar to support these sections of the rear axle? See picture.

I have the Burton manifold with plastic spacers.  Everyone is saying air leak so tightened them up....

also I have been told that the accuspark distributor and plugs are not good has anyone else had issues

Car will only start if the throttle is applied.

carbs are bolted tight against the plastic spacers / O rings.

under 2500 rpm it will stall straight away.

Problem is I need to get it good enough to drive to rolling road.

Thanks for the reply Richy,  I did have bike carbs on my car when I bought it..... I stupidly sold them and bought the webers...... Kicking myself.

I think I need to try a bit more on the webers before giving up.

Going to do a new thread to see if someone can help.

I know This question has been asked a number of times but what is best Weber’s or bike carbs or even throttle bodies?????

I have been struggling to set up my twin Weber dcoe 40’s  and I am at the point of giving up and maybe go to bike carbs instead?

any advise for the best route would be appreciated.

Tony

Thanks Blue,   I can't get it to stay running at any rpm so balancing the carbs is not possible.  I have found a old school mobile mechanic that is good with Webers.  He is coming on Friday to sort me out.  The plan is to get it running good enough so I can drive it to a rolling road to set it up properly.
