You can order with the parts number 10128-90026. Oh wow, I had the paint matched by a paint shop using the alternator bracket as a sample. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kats Posted August 25 Author Share #2107 Posted August 25 (edited) I snapped off the tiny tiny vacuum pipe on the front carburetor when I was trying to take the carburetor off from the manifold. Like this, I sometimes add more task which I never wished. I decided not to try talking off the carburetors because I didn’t want to brake them any further nor pay for a shop to do it instead of me. That is why you see the linkage parts between the two carbs are not plated but painted. I tried to paint them by using four colors of spray can for ‘fake gold zinc’ and it turned out so so for me. The throttle long arm across from the right side of the firewall to the pivot on the left side, and the throttle short arm on the balance tube are also my paint. Fuel pipe along the valve cover too. And a tall tower bracket for the spark plug wires is also painted. Don’t look them closely!! I had to drill a small hole on the remaining pipe on the carburetor to insert a small piece to hold the one which was snapped off. I finally managed to put it back together, and seemed the vacuum advance working properly. One of the thing which I had been wishing for was unique wire clamps for the brake and clutch master cylinders. I bought them for cheap and put them into the place where they need to be. Also please note the foot ball shape cap for the clutch master cylinder. The cap for the brake master cylinder maybe incorrect, I will change it to periodic correct one.

kats Posted August 25 Author Share #2108 Posted August 25 (edited) Finally I put a parts number decal on the metal radiator shroud. The decal is my laptop reproduction. Kats Edited August 25 by kats 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted August 26 Share #2110 Posted August 26 Hi Kats, The master cylinder caps are NABCO, but I'm thinking you want the Tokico instead? Unfortunate about breaking off the carb vacuum nipple. If you ever decide to go through the trouble to pull the remaining piece out of the carb body, it doesn't look too difficult to make a replacement.
