These are the
carbs that I sent to Jeff to rebuild in March 2007.
Not exactly
what one would call "mint" condition, but everything
is on the carbs. I didn't need the manifold and the
linkage was
rusted and all of the pivot points were worn beyond being of any
value to Jeff or to me, so I bought a fully rebuilt setup from
Jeff.
Richard
Good's "Goodparts" intake conversion package for six cylinder
Triumphs,
And after
Jeff's micropolishing process.
And this is
another view of the same.
Close up
views of the polished welds both front and back.
Some
additional mounting views. The rear to the head.
Getting the
proper spacing from the old manifold onto the plywood
mounting template used for alignment and to protect the
assembly.
Next Jeff
installs the rubber hoses between the manifold sections.
These will be loosened and aligned to the cylinder head to
insure
proper spacing and true straightness of the throttle shafts.
The carbs
are next to be mounted to the manifold assembly.
Before
mounting, some views of the old flexible linkage versus
Jeff's new solid linkage that I asked him to install on my
setup.
Additional
close up views of the installed solid couplers.
*************************************************************************************
Please
note that I did NOT use the solid couplers!!!
These
cars must use flexible couplers, especially for triple carb
installations.

And the final assembly, with
the modified and powder coated bellcrank linkage.
As I received it, ready to
install and tweak. The carbs are all bottomed
out and ready for the alignment and tightening of the solid
couplers.
This shot shows the new fuel
line from Goodparts.
Next stop, Her Majesty's
Service for installation and tuning.
I added stainless steel
clamps to the upper hoses after this shot was taken.
I highly recommend the
services of Jeff at:
