The Speedater needs this doing and the guy we have the car with no longer has the kit and has no contact with anyone who does.

Anyone know anyone who has the kit to do this in our area?

Let me know

Darren who built the engine originally is your best bet - when it left me, provided it was serviced by him the engine was under a warranty....

I can give you the details tonight if you want - or James will have them as he introduced me to Darren

If you fancy travelling upto J28 of the M1 there is a place in Alfreton that balanced, re-jetted and dyno'd my 912e which ran a similar setup to your Speedster. Peter Burgess Tuning.

Peter has done mine and a couple of my mates 914, one of his engineers is a VW nut and runs a Split Screen with a fast motor in it so the Speedster would be in good company.

He's really into MGs buts know his stuff, he knew from 10 paces which carbs wasn't running right. He'll rolling road it to get the best out of it. I paid £50 a couple of years ago for balancing, rejetting, timing and a couple of dyno runs which was a steal, even if its doubled its still a bargain. Best carb guru I've ever met and is a very approachable guy.

Think they only dyno/rolling road at certain times of the day/week due to noise problems with the neighbours. Its rough and ready but the best often are.
