Quick, stick it on a ship and get it over here before it starts to rust in ol' Blighty!

The LHD contingent is growing on here now, I might think about leaving my one LHD now :)

Cheers

I noticed the same thing with the LHD. The high dollar will mean a few more pop up I reckon.

Would you be able to tell me the height of the Fish Carby from the base where it would fit onto the manifold to the top please.



Thank you

Pete.

Hi Pete, the carb is exactly 15 cm tall. If you can make it out the carb has a vw adapter to fit earlier manifolds as they were used for minis as well. To use it on the later single port manifolds you have to use another adapter so you are probably looking at another 1 and a half cm on that.
