Blimey... You don't hang about!
For vacuum take off you could drill and tap the spacer I ran it without vac. I still have the non vac dizzy in the garage I think it is an aldon red but not sure.

well got home from work sun was out didnt have anything else to do so thought id get it done  as for the vacuum i was thinking of using the the servo take off for it if that would work for now? the rebuild took 7 years. i think most sane people would of scrapped it it had 3 layers of oversills on the oneside! and endless rot everywhere else except the floor pan which had been covered in a waxoil sort of thing so it was like new. but for £50 i couldnt complain and it ran sweet as a nut. |

Yep the servo take off should work OK but the hole might be a bit.
7 years and 3 sets of oversills... its starting to make me think even my cooper might be a viable resto now.... nah who am I kidding your just insane

of course the cooper is savable! you know it makes sense hopefully will be going to combe long as i dont kill the engine before hand . will get a track pass when i get paid. ;D next thing on the to do list, get a spacer with a vacuum take off as running with out it now, try to make the engine more stable feels like its trying to escape all the time and attempt to get it setup my self before i resort to expensive rolling road. |

haha the held together with tape look carb is almost done, got the vacuum sorted just drilled the spacer all done now. just need to fiddle around with different needle setups until i find the one that feels best, think i might need some soundproofing on the bulkhead as its really loud! new fan and the bodywork is next on the list  |
