Forgot to say you need to fit the full outboard suspension arms etc if it’s inboard currently.

Do you mean the full strut with shocker insert ?
I have a set of new 33 struts for sale and someone was asking if they would fit his late sprint .

Re: Twin carbs

Well I've managed to get My 33 95% running right. I'm not sure if the last 5% is in my head. I got it to where it is by taking it for drives and checking the plugs. They have all now got a nice even color on the tips. It seems I was running a little rich.

Re: Non return valve

I always leave my sud in gear when parked just incase the handbrake fails. The 147 was a little different. If it was frosty out I'd leave it in gear with the handbrake off .

Re: Twin carbs

I'm having similar problem to you. How ever I try to set the carbs I'm getting a stumble when at low revs. it goes away at 2800 revs so it's on the idle circuit. It will idle lovely. The problem only shows up when driving. The engine is a 1.7 on 40 dellorto's. It's running 52 idles at the moment. I'...

Re: Dellorto DRLA part and operation guide

I've finally managed to get a set of 40 Dellortos for my 1.7 engine. I've been using 36 Webber's upto now with different jets . It ran pretty well to be honest. I've now rebuild the 40s and the car runs well at idle but stuttered when just off idle. Obviously a weak mixture. I was opening the mixtur...

33 front hubs

I'm in need of a pair of front hubs and mounting bolts for my series 2 33 qv . I've raised the car this weekend with 35mm lowering springs to make it more drivable only to find the bolts for the huds are a mess and cross threaded in some cases.
