Thread: Carburettor mounting orientation??

Hi all,

I'm in the later stages of a ground up rebuild of a 1957 Series I, 109" tray back. When I acquired it, some one had retro fitted a 2 1/4 petrol out of a 67 IIA into it.

Not original, I know, but at least it's a Land Rover motor. When I test fitted the rebuilt motor back into the chassis, I realised that the Strongberg carby had been impacting into the underside of the bonnet. So, out came the Zenith, and it does sit lower in profile than the Strongberg. But. I can't get the orientation of the carby right, with the mounting adaptor plates that I have.

When the carby is sitting on the manifold, the throttle linkages face the inside of the guard? Is there more than 1 adaptor plate style available?

Ideally, could some one send me a couple of pictures of a similar set up? That would be a great help.

Any and all comments appreciated.
Cheers,
Daz

you just put that pic up to show off your shiny carby .....didn't you?
