Hi Guys,

We'be been working away at the Webers for quite some time know. Nothing looks or sounds like them and they can be tuned, if you're patient and have good drugs LOL.

Anyways, most of the Weber V8 kits available today have the carbs arranged as per Cobra application with the fuel lines running the perimeter of the carbs. The original GT40 manifolds had the carbs arranged so the fuel line terminated up the middle. This also meant the throttles pulled together rather than opposed so there is no bellcrank in the middle of the manifold. Little things but...

Ray Mara asked me to modify his RaceTep setup with a vacuum chamber for the power brakes and vacuum advance on his CAV. Well one thing led to another and he ended up with the vacuum, one bank of carbs rotated, new throttle pull setup, heat shield and backfire plate, wow...

So this is how it turned out. The first one took a pile of hours, however if you'd like your existing setup modified or are considering a complete 48IDA setup for your car please give me a call, we can do the whole deal. Note this can be a forward, center or backward pull for the throttle cable.

Cheers
