I already checked that manifold is long gone.... :bash:

hah, the manifold went cos it was a good price :0

 

i never knew that about the SU's needing to be on an angle in order to make the fuel bowl vertical. makes sense though.

 

You can pull the fuel bowls off and if I recall correctly, there is a small bush that you can change which changes the oreintation of the fuel bowl.

 

I think the incline on the SU's is more of a packagaging issue, then you just fit the fuel bowls to suit

 

Some of the later SUs' had an integral fuel bowl

I'm not sure about pom SU's, the Hitachi's had a rubber insulated tab that kept the bowl at a particular lean.

 

Hang out for a manifold, while you're doing that save for a set of sideys. Simple.. :)

I'm sure there are enough people wanting Lynx manifolds to make it worth casting 5 or 10. Anyone work in the casting industry??

 

Same with extractors, luckily someone still makes a run now and then.

Would a Datsun L18 SU Manifold fit a K with some work? :blinks:

what kind of answer are you expecting?

 

a manifold designed for an engine, wont fit easily onto another engine. cutting, welding, probably adding more material is required. might as well make one from scratch.

 

its like saying "will an ipod charger fit a nokia phone with some work". yep it will.

LOL fantastic analogy.

And if you're going to go to that sort of effort, do some bike carbs....

my float bowl angle is adjustable. I think there was some minor modification involved to make them adjustable, something like swapping a piece back to front or losing a little locator tab or something.

 

either buy the weber manifold and put webers on it, or buy the su manifold and put su carburettors on it....

 

Robert.

Yeh the little notched bush iirc where the bowl connects to the carb body can be repositioned for a couple of different agles
