frodo_monkey 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Hi, As part of my engine build, I plan on putting bike carbs onto my 1.6... I have acquired a set off an R6 and will shortly be visiting Bogg Bros to get the inlet manifold knocked-up. I'm just wondering if anyone on here has used the R6 carbs before (so I know who to ask for help when I'm stood over the car, scratching my head like a monkey ) Thanks, Frodo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 70 2 Cars Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) get some 160 weber dgas jets from ebay and visit boggs as early as possible, they have a big waiting list. Edited December 13, 2006 by Richie-Van-GTi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richie-Van-GTi 70 2 Cars Posted December 14, 2006 Ive got dodsworths carb mani now, IIRC his mate bought the carbs (R1) to go on a redtop engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frodo_monkey 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Got my engine (shortly to come back to me to be rebuilt) off Dodsworth-GTi a while ago! His carb setup looked topnotch and was from Boggs - think I'll go with them as they're fairly local and I can give them beak to make it quicker... Haven't been able to start taking out the existing lump yet, for some reason the so-called better half decided we had to get a garden shed last Sunday - which is now filling the entire garage until I can get a spare hour or so to erect it! Sunday, fingers crossed... max0 - drums ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max0 5 Posted December 14, 2006 Richie: I think ive meet you before. Did i get a 1.6 engine of your mate who sold dodworth the mi? Frodo: Yeah thanks the drums/bearings are in a lot better condition that the old ones - the bearings where on there last legs, many thanks. Im sure you will have the shed full of 205 bits in no time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
