Carb to airbox rubber.

Post by stevewharton »

Does anyone have one of the above for an "A" model kettle they can sell me? Just spotted one of mine has a split.
Was going to buy a full set of six until I saw the price, I'm still feeling faint :o
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

You're right John, my grandad was from Hull, but I do think I've been seeing too much of Alan and it's starting to rub off ;)
You're also right about spending some of the cash from under the mattress, cos I'm fed up of having to use a step ladder to get into bed :roll:
But if I haven't found a spare carb to airbox rubber soon, then it's £140 I'll have to splash out for a full set of six :o

Richard did tell me about that, he bought some (dead cheap :D ) rubber pipe fittings from his local plumbers which did the job, I'll have to ask him for the details.

Hi Richard, re' the above, can you remind me what you used, that is what you asked for, where you bought them from, did you have to modify them and are they the same ones from carb to barrels?
Cheers mate and yes I know I could've rang you and asked for the info' but at my age I need it in writing or I forget instantly :roll:
