If that's £1400 worth I don't know what I'm doing wasting my time fixing this, I might as well throw the body away and sell it for a £600 instant profit?

Re B&Q 'Spose its a "Convenience premium" not everyone needs or would be able to pick up 6m lengths of M8 studding and what a waste throwing 5.95m of studding up in the roof of the garage for it to sit waiting till you need another 50mm to fix the patio furniture or whatever people use 4.5 grade(AKA chocolate) threaded studding for



Well that's how they got me, I wanted it there and then on my way to work, I assumed it'd be a quid or two. I nearly choked when the woman said '£10 please' for two meters of it. I almost walked out but That would have meant my speakers sitting on the floor for another week while I waited for the steel people to deliver. I'm certainly wise to it now though.

It's not the right carburettor for any A series, that's the problem... :lol:

The 67 AZU came with (a very knackered) Zenith 28mm carb on it, is that original or is it as above?

A Zenith for an early engine would be a 2 stud fixing.
This is the 4 stud manifold on a late 602 engine and that carburettor on it 'fits where it hits'... :roll:

Erm... The question about the '67 AZU, wot I have, was whether the Zenith carb that was on it's 425 engine might have been original...?

This has just sold on Ebay for £1370.
Have a peep at the exhaust manifold 'studs'; all of them look to be bolt and nut affairs... :roll:

p.s. Any ideas which carburettor has been thrown into that mix?
