Hi All,



Every British sports car owner with SU (non-HD8) carbs has thought about
rebusing the throttle shafts but where swayed from doing so by the high cost
of either the equipment required or the service costs ($50-$70/Carb).  Tom
Leavy of the Positive Earth Drivers Club demonstrated a great solution by Jake
Snyder of the Chicagoland MG Club
(http://www.chicagolandmgclub.com/driveline00/1001/jasw.html) that showed a
way to achieve this task in about = hour at a total cost of under $20 for both
carbs.  I would suggest that anyone rebuilding a non-HD8 SU visit this site as
I feel it is a great out-of-the-box approach.



All the best,
