Made by a local firm with the correct Sud ends. Posted through my door yesterday and I haven't even paid for them yet

Now I do like those mate, not only if they've made the correct watertight seals at plug ends (can't quite see from the pic) but because the colour is very much for the period, not like the usual bright orange ones that get banded about!

Just found a problem the coil lead is too short. Will call in and tell the man that his book of dimensions is not accurate.

Are these guys still able to make Sud leads sets ( with boots)? And if so what part number do I ask for . The website seems a bit piss poor.

I did not manage to get any answer from them.

So fitted so nice orange ones like Kev suggested, or did I misunderstand him / :lol:

I thought the fuel inlet to the carbs was the bottom pipe.
On your LH carb it seems to be the opposite?

Sorry,
you are right, its a double banjo with equal size pipes.
And different banjo on the right side......smaller for the tank return.....but no longer available from Eurocarb they told me last year.
Weber have a fixed pipe arrangement it seems
