Greetings,
I am installing the new solex carbs I purchased a while back from CDM.
I was test fitting the fuel line setup and the figured I had best see
how the aluminum air cleaner I purchased from Sid will fit. In order
to mount the air cleaner's back plate on the carbs one must remove the
4 intake horns. Each intake port on the back plate
has a sheet metal extension that sticks out from the aircleaners back
plate into the negative space where the horns are attached and the air
cleaner is mounted. This sheet metal extension, about .250" or so,
prevents me from tightening the mouting nuts that hold the back plate to
the carb face. In addition, the studs that extend from the carbs are
not long enough to also bolt on the original chrome horns.
What does a fellow do in this situation? Remove the current studs and
install longer ones that will enable both the back plate and the horns
to be mounted to the carbs? Cut off the flange that sticks out from the
back plate and mount the horns flush to the plate surface? Other options?
Many thanks,
Guy
