Good idea, I have not seen it done before, but can not think of any reason
that it would not work as long as the tubing was a good snug fit. I usually
don't have much trouble getting it on with a small ignition spanner, but it
is a pain getting it done when you really can't see what you are doing.

Subject: [TR] Carb vacuum advance
Installing the vacuum advance union into the front carb with the carbs in
place is a pain because it's so hard to get at. It's also hard to tell if
the compression ring has been seated.
Has anyone cut a seven inch or so length of copper tube, installed it in the
union, and then used a rubber hose to splice it to the rest of the copper
tubing leading to the vacuum advance on the distributor? Then it would be a
simple matter of tugging off a rubber hose to remove the carbs?
