Yep, later carbs didn't have lifters. Penny pinching ya see.

Being Triumph a mixture may well be original but you could try the burlen site which was more of a shite last time I looked. If it's back to being of use you can find the time ranges for the different SU flavours fitted to sprints, drill down to the parts and see if lifters are on the BOM. Don't go by the picture, you need to look a the list underneath.

Nekked car porn :D

I do smile at your modesty Mart :D
It took me over a month to rebuild my carbs. Admittedly, I did have to order parts half way through the job but even so!

What I meant Colin was that the carbs had already been rebuilt, so I just had to put them on the manifold. :lol:


Went to give PFJ a final inspection before it comes back, hopefully, tomorrow evening. All done now, just a couple of small runs I wanted removing. :D

she's....beautiful

I'm starting to imagine this non-descript house in weston-supermare, hiding a dolomite refurbishment factory. Just amazing watching this all happen, car after car. Keep up the great work Mart.
