does any one know where i can get an inlet manifold for a 1.1/1.3 engine for twin 40 carbs where can i buy it from?looked on rallye design and ebay no luck? :roll: stripping the engine tomorrow to have a lok at the main engine done 160k.

You can definitly get them, Lad off Dubmarines (stanton) used to have twin carbs on his 1.3 mk2.   I believe he got them through his contacts at Regal (of vauxhall Tuning fame, but now do VW stuff as well).  Lad called Paul (TopFuel) works for them.  I think they're sourced from the states though.

thanks for that mate dropped them an email yester got back to me they can do them for ?165 which is great, thanks for that :wink:

I've got a Genuine VW Motorsport sand cast one lying on my kitchen bench at the moment that I'll take ?80 plus postage for if you are interested.

ok mate cheers is that for 1.1/1.3 head? update head stripped and in the wash tank at the moment also engine blocked stripped, interestingly found chunks out of the water pump!!! slightly worrying but its being stripped anyway,
the final cut out templates have been made also for inner chassis legs so will be sent over the road for making,also gained blanking plates for petrol cap cheers(caddyman)as its being moved behind the number plate,also got the old filler neck off without any rust problems
 pics up soon as.

Yup - it'll fit a 1.05, 1.1 or 1.3.  It's ex-Polo Challenge Cup.

Here's a couple of pics…

lucky buy today on the dreaded evil bay, o/s/r arch repair panel bought for the sum of ?12.50, a good buy me thinks just the n/s to source now

?15 for the pair from eurocarparts…. Project looking good though.

hi guys

right an update for you, the bottom end is stripped the block has been in the wash tank so has the crank for cleaning, conrods and pistons checked and shells were in good condition for 160k,
the bottom end is ready for painting,re shelling new rings and gaskets.

the exterior engine parts i.e the mounts, metal covers ,sump, manifold, are ready to go in the shot blasting cabinets and then sent to powder coater and chromer.

ive sourced a carb manifold for the head thanks to(steve) so just got to get rebuild kit and bike carbs sorted. the interior on ebay is going well so the pedal box will be bought so as so the brake pipes can be made.

the shell apart from front panel, bay templates and fuel neck move is all done minimal filler. cheers (caddyman)for popping over.

oh and i got this threw today
 

looks like im on hand to help again sunday  

well an update the cabby interior sold for ?350 so the pedal box, poly bushes and wings and door can be bought,so that was a great help,

the smoothing plates should be with start of this week so i can get on with the body work and choose the paint.

purchased a new o/s front wing today should be with me tomorrow, then the arch extensions will begin.

did you say you are after bike carbs??

saw these on the bay very cheap
