So we think the carbs are fine and will give them a sonic bath next yr and ...

Thanks for the reply ,

I was thinking 40s might do but will ...

I can help with the missing rear vent and an OE steering wheel, also OE wheels and hubs (front at least). I have also just received what I hope will be the final samples for approval of the Club's remanufacture scheme for the quarter light rubbers...
