@Derek UK
Yeh have heard some people getting pretty good mpg's on Su's. Like Canuck form TB claims over 30. But I think we'll keep looking for a set of 45's as the car will only be used at weekend etc.

@classicswede
A set of R1 bike carbs would be the cheaper to buy but then there would be a lot of messign about to make them fit correctly. They do sound cool though. Defo couldn't be bothered with megasquirt, as I've only got the grasp of the basic things lately never mind a full standalone system. Just finished skool this week so will have more time to look for a set of carbs. Will keep the megasquirt in mind for my 940 if I bring her back from the dead.

I have run twin 40s with a webcon inlet which easily cleared the bulkhead and the steering knuckle on my RHD amazon. They also use a throttle linkage kit which utilises the original throttle pedal lower linkage . They have tham in stock along with dcoes . On a rolling road the power is up about 12% with the webers over the SUs

Just had a look at their site, £165 doesn't sound too bad for the RHD twin 40 inlet but I noticed there was no RHD twin 45 inlet? Do they not actually exist? I can get a short 42mm twin 45 inlet from Netherlands for 180EUR, will that do the trick if I go for 45's?

Seriously call KG, it will be the most productive time you'll spend on this engine and he will be able to answer all your questions...

The rest of the engine was like new with barely any wear. So we had to get a rebore, a set of oversize pistons and rings which has made the whole thing rather expensive.
Yes Canuck from Turbobricks was very helpful to us in the past when we needed info on maximum wheel widths and a few engine related things. He's a top guy and very knowledgeable.

Do you know of any new or used Torq Thrusts about by any chance? North Hants tyres seem to be sold out

Just to let you know American Racing have been out of stock for several months, but the good news is we have been allocated thirty 15" wheels for our container which loads at the end of May.

Excellent. So they should be in 3 or 4 weeks later then?

Thought I'd share these photos of my RHD webers, Rob at Amazon cars has the spec for my car as he did the work...I don't have it to hand but will upload when I can.

What was the cost of the Amazon Cars inlet manifold for the webers?

I'm away traveling on business at the moment and all the details are at home, but I know mine was one of the first batch of a shorter style for RHD cars.

But in the meantime you can hear it in action:
