bottom rights are 45 Dellortos rest are 40 webers. I now have to start restoring them, lets hope for a good summer so I can sit outside and do it. Quick update have found a brand spanking new pair of 40's in the wardrobe still in the Burton power box with a 7 year old receipt for £850, jetted for Pinto 2000 fast road use.

Yes, not as daft as it may sound, but do remember to ask permission first (or forgiveness after) and a good rinse and oiling after as dishwashers use salt
