Zenith Jets

What sources are there for these in the UK (main and idle) as I like to have spares ? I know about Alfa 1750 but had a negative experience with the person operating that distribution.

Re: Standard length of the carburettor drop link

Good point but would that not also alter the angle of the 'vertical' link?

Still keen to get the standard carb drop link measurement, just to set that one aside.

Re: RHD 356's

Thanks Hendrik. Mike had explained to me earlier what you are doing and we all agree how valuable and appreciated that work is. Great interest will also be on the details and the back stories, I suspect. The overall numbers and their distribution across markets are also interesting. I suspect there ...

Re: 356A Rubber Floor mats RHD

That is interesting. Thanks Mike. I can see that Mercantile International have an uncut set that could be adapted for RHD with some careful work..
