Here's some pics for ya. (feels good to be back at my bench even if it is a glass table in my room LOL!) here it is cut in half soldered back together now cleaned up a bit and mocked up. I got the carbs from my friend Terry from Flashpoint Motor Sports thanks Terry (he doesnt sell these they were spares he had laying around)! Hope you enjoyed my small update......cya soon
