    warning, warning ! do not, and i repeat DO FUCKEN NOT ring him, FrankenBarry will want every minor detail and factoid about the car including the breed of spider living in the headlight bucket. he will then argue that it's a different breed of spider living there !!

    are the replacements coming from USA ? if so, they may be low-emissions spec, and extra holes help lean it out ?

    quite a good set-up down there. almost an hour south of my place for tea and biscuits

    unsure if i will be down there, as broke and in Timmers at the moment. if numbers don't get too high, and i can get down, more than welcome to stay/camp at my place....... providing it has rained down there !!! what camp are you planning to stay at ?

    would depend on numbers. can probably sleep 4-5 in the house at the moment but havn't set bunkroom up yet. no fucken water down there as it hasn't rained properly for 2-3 months, only had 150-200 litres left in tank when i came back last tuesday.

    the three C's Carbs cam compression built one years ago for the rally car. 2T-B base engine (higher comp.), skimmed / ported head, mild-ish cam (kelford F59) flows , lightened flywheel, twin DHLA 40's. was a fun wee engine that kept the clubman $AGE's honest. currently have similar set up on 3T base with 45 DHLA's, but feel i should go back to 1600 for shits and giggles

    jesus Jared, one day you're talking budget spec, now you're talking gold nugget spec !! unsure if one can still get a C/R kit for T-50 whilst still being fatherworthy ? didn't get a chance to measure W-50 for you today, but without going stupid custom spendy, they may be a good option

    $500 seems a bit steep. wasn't long ago $200-250 was the norm. i'll have nosey later and get measurements and see what i still have. i want to keep at least one W-50, but god knows how many are in basement. a month ago i found a stash of T-50's i forgot about and a K-50 with 4AG bell housing that i thought i had sold many years ago !!
  24. smokin'joe
    sounds like a good excuse for a drive down to the Catlins !!
  25. smokin'joe
    W-50 has same output as avenger/escort BW box, and has a round front mounting face spigot that is similar too. the W box from coronas etc were a BW copy/sourced unit and usually very cheap. can measure front diameter in morning if you want.
