Re: Weber 48 IDA - Show me your linkages

The arm is an original and the blocks are being made from original drawings. The base of the turkey pan is nearly complete. All bolt holes and inlet holes have been produced. The inlet holes were matched by using a small file to ensure an exact match with the inlet manifold. The distributor end still needs to be cut correctly and am waiting (still!!!) for the engine before cutting it to correct size. The sides of the turkey pan cannot be produced correctly without the chassis and rear clip in position which wont be with me until later this year. There is a few pictures in my engine build thread. The pillow bearings are attached to the base of the turkey pan with bolts, knowing this is the case I made the base with 3mm aluminium plate to stop any flexing.
