Hi Britt

Have one but not sure if i want to move it on..

Paid 150euro for it so would need that plus a little postage i suppose.. Might be a little rich for your friend ..

Never actually used it so can give no indication as to it being fit for purpose ..

Pm me if you want a photo or two

Thanks for the poke our kid..

D

Thanks Guys I'll ask him about it.

The reece looks like this..

Think they are all virtually the same, just differ in build quality from what i was reading..

i had thought of making a new manifold adaptor to fit it to my 1600 just for the craic, but then life got in the way and things happened carb has sat in its shipping box from the time i bought it.. have though about fitting it to our kids 1500 in the splitty, but that will be next year before my other bro has her ready for the road..

sorry lads ignore my post, i have my head up my ass lol. i am a cock.

the visi float was in the nikki carb not the reece, although the nikki carb was still a pile of junk, this was the carb i was thinking of doh!!

LOL!!

i was convinced that the reece had a window until i found the pictures above!!

all we need is a holly bug spray and we have the full suite of 60's aftermarket bolt on carb kits!

I sold a Holley Bugspray with my old 67, John who bought it tried it but it wouldn't run right when hot, think he had a problem with the choke, can't remember but it's prolly sitting on his shelf!
