Ditto, and don't forget to put your markers on the Community map.

Thanks, that is what I might end up doing, the only issue is £70+ is a lot of money to spend on something that might not fit.

I think that you may have meant to reply to my post, anyway I did the search and all I get is photos of lots and lots of similar carbs.

My Robin Hood 2B Plus 2l Pinto runs on Honda CB900R carburettors, which currently have no filters. I am not really very happy about this and have bought a few which look like they might work, but so far none fit. The problem is two fold; firstly the lack of space between the carbs and the bonnet support (see first photo), but also the air inlets, which are 53mm, are close together (see second photo) separate filters can only be about 70mm diam. All that I have bought are too long so at least one (probable two) would foul the bonnet support and usually too wide so I can't get them on adjacent carb inlets. Any suggestions/suppliers? If I can find something I am going to have to bend the bonnet support (further) and I'd rather not, and buy two longer filters and two shorter ones and alternate them, but I can't believe that there are no simple filters around that will fit. Note that the photo shows the bonnet slightly raised and therefore exaggerates the gap available.

Don't they add a zero (or 2) to everything with Cosworth in front of it?

Thanks, I work on the theory that if I have a spare, I'll never need it! I will have a look first, I need to get the car up when the weather is cooler, as I want to check the fuel hoses and possibly replace them.

Off the car, measured and a new one found of the right length and looks like the right carb fitting and ordered - should be right. Thanks all for the advice. Hopefully back on the road for the weekend. Must improve the angle by which it left the pedal and entered a guide tube as that is why it frayed and broke - behind a cowling covering the pedal hinges and brake cylinder, so not normally visible. I'd really like to get a spare clutch cable, but I expect it would be the same advice, i.e. get it off and measure it?

Wise words. Its off now not at all what I expected, replacement ordered

Thanks. My job for tomorrow then. Does the same thing apply to clutch cables?

Robin Hoods 2B Plus - Ford Sierra based 2 litre Pinto: My accelerator cable snapped this morning on an early morning run, so does anyone know what accelerator cable is likely to be fitted to my 2B (Sierra?) or is it a case of taking it off and measuring it and finding a supplier? Either way any recommendations for a supplier - quite urgent only because I don't want to miss this beautiful weather . . . . . what a pleasant way of seeing the countryside limping back on idle in first or second😁 Also an interesting aside, when I was parked, engine running, hazards on, the engine wouldn't switch off until I stopped the hazards first. Any ideas why. The hazards worked fine with the engine off or on.

I don't think I received it, what would have been in the 'subject' or 'from' line and I will have another look.

Wise man!

Yes you are correct there is no more heat going in, but equally no air cooling. I have had several cars in the past, e.g. Ford Capri, Ford Orion and I think my Audi Coupes (probably others too) plus my Robin Hood 2B, when the fans often came/come on a few seconds or even minutes after the engine had been turned off - sometimes several times. This suggests that the temperature at the switch had risen enough to turn the fan on again, and I have certainly had cars that boiled over after stopping and, although running hot, not while running (usually because of a fault).

Err it could be a problem because if the coolant isn't circulating the engine could continue to get hotter without the fan going, Are you sure that isn't working? i.e. does it come back on at all, even say after a couple of minutes?

No problem, welcome.
