Title: Weber carby conversion. Who's interested in doing one?
Post by: BlackBedford on March 19, 2009, 08:05:46 PM: G'day

I have been interested in doing a Weber conversion on a 202 for a while. I have bought a carby and got it serviced and then I fitted it to a 186S manifold. I hadn't worked out how to fit an air filter though. I have been busy of late and I missed this on ebay:

BUGA!

The adaptor on top of the carby is just what I am looking for.

Hunted on the net and found this just posted:

The story (with more photos) is here:

I tracked him down and rang him tonight. We had a good chat and he said that he just made his first one but that he is going to make some and sell them.

I put my hand up for one.

Does anybody else want one?

Price will probably depend on quantity but will be reasonable.

Regards

Chris

He is only making them as a hobby and there will only be a limited number made. I am trying to get him to make a few more, so at this stage expressions of interest are being sought.
