Re: A different Weber question

Stan,

The flexible mount is to stop fuel frothing. The same can be achieved by the common practice to 'o' ring the manifold face and clamp the carbs up with special spring type washers which retains the flexibility leaving maybe only a .060" gap between the carb and the manifold face. It's years since I had anything to do with these things but that worked well back then. Others may have more up to date info.

Cheers
