just fitted webers to my fastback
managed to get the whole lot inc airbox but no filter housing

strangely enough i inadvertently threw out a filter housing that came with the car as i didn't recognise it as a rapier item doh !





sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand

Good man, you know it makes sense!

Set of trumpets here;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weber-40-DCOE-Ram-Pipes-Trumpets-/140905423695?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20ce9e234f

Cables you should be able to get hold of easily enough, although choke cables are for show only as the choke is a waste of time in my experience. You need a connecting rod between the carbs and cable mount (black bracket thingy) which again should be easy to find.

Your hardest job will be finding the fibreglass air box & saucepan airfilter housing. I may have a spare air box but the filter housings are like rocking horse poo (I will double check but don't think I have one spare). You might have to settle for after market filters until you can find what you need.

It seems like ive had this set of weber 40s for ages now, so its time to get them on - Thanks for the nudge Jason.
Im missing some bits though and although i could buy new, id like to avoid this if poss to save a bit of cash.

Im after
4 - 32mm chokes
4 - Trumpets (must be shiney)
Either the origional air box assembly or aftermarket filters.
Also i have a distinct lack of cables, linking bars, etc.

If anyone has any of the above, please let me know

The pics show what i have -
