WHat engine have you got?

1600cc gold remtec

you`d be better off with 36s if the motor is otherwise stock , 40s if you`re doing head work , changing the cam etc.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but what power could you expect from a 1600, with 40DCNFs and moderate top end work. Looking for around 90-100bhp??

I'll keep my eyes & ears open for you john.

stock 1600 with twin carbs , decent exhaust and some light headwork should see 80ish bhp .1.25 ratio rockers or a cam swap would give you another 10 - 20 hp ish

Cool.
Thanks Mango.

My old 1835cc (Coxy's) has ported 043 heads,110 cam and 40 IDFs and is around 100bhp.

Are you looking for just the linkage or do you want carbs also?
I've a brand new Bugpack linkage, still in the wrapper. One of the four seals has slipped out of the packing over time but everything else is there.

Otherwise I have a set of twin Dellortos? Think they are 45s - I'll give a check when I get a chance. They would probably need an overhaul because they sat on an engine unused for a while but otherwise should be ok.

i'm looking for the complete kit really, something fairly newish, don't want to be messing around too much with them. i can get a new empi 40 hpmx in the states for bout 450 euro but i thought i'd just check to see it any one had a newish kit local first. i would also have to stick to 40's also. but hey, thanks a million for your reply.

I'd be cautious about the EMPI kit, early ones were very poor castings and a nightmare to set up - I think it's sorted now but still a gamble.

loads more kits in there , shipping to ireland works out around 30 euro (if you can avoid customs

)
