Inlet Manifolds

Whenever we refurbish carbs the rods that locate the quadrant which connects to the crank on the transmission always look scruffy and are difficult to clean to a good standard.

They are not difficult to re-manufacture and quite straightforward to remove and replace.

We have made new rods from ground stainless steel rod (EN303) and fitted stainless E Clips of the correct size/shape.

We have fitted them to Weber manifolds that have been chemically stripped, chromated and then painted in Dupont Imron PU paint and baked.

I believe that Imron was the paint originally used.

We have also made the rods the correct length for Solex and MFI systems.

Has anyone spotted the deliberate mistake? :o

Is it the starting taper on the end of the pin? Is the pin just a press fit into the manifold?

Yep = my 'Simpson' moment Doh!

They are a slight interference but we lightly stake the rod before pressing it into the manifold with a manderl to prevent the circlip groove closing up.

The short taper is identical to the original shafts.
