DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just managed to snap off my one of my Zenith 40TIN main jet holders whilst putting my carbs back together

Teach me to conduct delicate operations at 11:00pm after 3 cans of Bodingtons...

I can feel the straws being clutched at now, but does anyone have a spare? More than willing to offer hard cash.

Thanks from a muppet.

I learnt that lesson a long time ago, thats why I banned myself form going anyway near my car/workshop after even one drink. In fact this might explain why my cabrio is still not finshed after 6 years

aghh mate.. thats shitzer.

Good luck with the hunt.

Hot66: Can we have some pics of this awesome mega tech (mega buck) cabrio. Wanna sell it to me? Sounds awesome!!

I don't tend to post piccys of the car on 'public' forums as it is not quite finished & with the engine not installed the stance is wrong
:D


If you really want to see it I could mail you 1 or 2 piccys for your own personal use :D

If the right money is offered it is available

for the moment I have already posted these piccys

I too did exactly the same thing so I know exactly how you feel - but I was stone cold sober, so felt like a total clown !!! the jet carrier snapped in exactly the same place but mine was on the car at the time , a little gentle drilling, lots of patient twiddling with a left handed tool combined with plenty of effin 'n' blindin and i finally got the piece out.

Anyway enough of that.......this is what you want to know, I bought a set of carbs from Barry and to get my car back on the road I have just swapped the jet & carrier until I have the time to put the Barry carbs on. The set that are on the car were only going to be kept for spares so...............I have a jet & carrier you can have.

pm me with your address details and I'll get it off to you tomorrow (Dont worry about funds mate it's fine, wouldnt say no to a pint if we ever hook up at a meet though, just don't offer to check anything on my car after )

Good for you, Darren, I saw Gary's post and thought it was sod's law that I had just sold my spare carbs ....

The old cabrio is looking a bit special: like the airbrushed photographer on the door ... Fantastic: how long 'til its on the road?

IF I pulled my finger out it could be on the road for April

But I tend to work at a very relaxed pace

Gilbert71T, you are a star!

I have sent you a pm.

Many thanks
