sx2visuvesi Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Looks like the Chinese cloning fraternity have moved on to carbs.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3219.....e=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITAnyone had any experience of these yet?The seller has a nice selection of carbs listed, some quite hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 That sort of reminds me of the Nikki twin-choke carb I bought in 1976 to fit to my 1600 Cortina to make it go slower and use more fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I am sure they were sold by a number of catalogues in the 70's and 80'sAllowed you to spread to cost over 6 months as the extra fuel costs prevented you paying them off in 1 go.They really were a much envied and dreamt about " go faster" goodie.Why???

And you could fit a chromed pancake filter, which made your Cortina's induction roar sound like a 12 cylinder Ferrari, which made the neighbours think you were very rich. Or a prat.
