Carbs

The carburettors are twin 40mm Dellortos (Italy). Although less desirable than comparable Weber items, lots of cars were originally equipped with. They have been used as an upgrade as well. The engine in my car came probably out of a Ford Cortina with only one 32 or 36mm carb. With twin 40's, the increase in power is quite important. 

Road dirt + workshop dirt made them look like this ...

One hour and a lot of brake cleaner later, the right side starts to shine again ...

It is possible to make them look like new, but the planned switch to electronic fuel injection makes this a waste of time. I will clean them good enough, that's all.

Tank breather installed as well. The thread on the tank being 9/16x18 and on the breather 12x1,5, I had to manufacture an adaptor with my lathe. Job done.
Cheers.
