And that was the direction of my question in the first place. I don't know where I got these ones but they work fine so I ain't bitchin. Would be nice to find another set though.

Hey Bruce, What is an SU SU? Roadster?

Hey Bruce, What is an SU SU? Roadster?

British SUs, as built by Skinner's Union, as opposed to Hitachi SUs built under license. My MG had brass damper caps.

Well the wife calls me " MR. DING DING" Does that count?

And why would she do that ??...

Why didn't you weld up all holes in the balance tube instead of plugging them off.

Hey Dave,

WOW!

very nice

Welding is for those in the KNOW, and I'm not on that list. I don't have aluminum welding experience and the local guy charges too much. The next set I do will be welded shut but I was in a hurry on this one.

And " Mr. Ding Ding" is a sexual reference that we won't go into on this thread. hehehe!!

mlc240Z... Thank you!! I could do better but I was in a hurry to get these on. Definately a BIG difference between the Triple Webers and the SU's. Instant power versus progressive power is really noticable. But at least it's not backfiring with every step on the pedal.

Your local guy is a arse, i didn't pay a nickel to get mine weld shut and it only takes a few minutes if he know what he is doing.

I must have a launguage problem here, i really don't get that "mr. Ding Ding" is it because it's hanging to much;)

Wow Dave, those carbs are looking awsome! Did you use anything to seal the polished aluminum to inhibit corrosion and extend the time between polishes? Same for the steel. I know there's a good product out there for the aluminum but I just can't recall the name of it at the moment.

Beautiful, Dave! You do nice work, thanks for sharing.

Same question about if you use anything to stall off corrosion.

Everyone is hurting around here and charging for everything. guess I need to learn how to do it myself. There's another grand out of my pocket, Damnit.

:bulb: ding ding ding, tell him what he's won. Like a pendulum on a grandfather clock. ROFL Guess it also depends on how hot it is outside too.

I typically use Crystal Clear Hi-temp clear coat. Especially on any steel parts that were polished, then I relube everything mechanical. Thanks for the compliments guys, makes it a little more worth all the work.
