Ben,
It's unlikely that you'll find this part. It may be easier to
make one out of sheet metal. I've promised that I'd make one for my
'78 Midget for three years though!
One thing that puzzles me is the carb. set-up you have. The
later Midgets changed to a single Zenith '150CD' circa 1975/6. Someone
may have changed yours.
Anyone out there have any info. on this carb set-up???
Was it a Canadian version?
