    With the Weber strike causing trouble still, I can't get any local supply of Emulsion tubes.

    I'm after F24's, from a UK spec 308, as Aus cars have F36 which are not ideal.

    Does anyone have a reliable souce? Used ones in good condition are fine......

    Pierce Manifolds in Ca.

    They will have them, but take note that they are a small shop and get 100's of calls a day....e-mail works well with them.

    If you draw a blank with pierce manifolds I may have a source, by the way UK spec cars had F36's not F24's

    Mid range will be v rich w/F24s. It is what I run w/P6 cams. Stock as others have said are F36s.

    Agree that Pierce is best source.

    As you know, the emulsion tubes control the shape of the A/F plot and mains move it up and down, so if F24s unavailable, F36s will work fine but you may consider going rich one half to one size richer on the mains.

    I think you'll probably find them at Pierce, though - they are great. F-UK also has the odd Weber parts, so may check there. They were the only place worldwide with 36mm venturis.

    Good luck and best regards

    Pierce custom made my 36 mm venturi's but that was because Weber never made them for 48mm IDF's.

    By the way Weber went Bankrupt and shut down a year ago.

    Phil,

    If you draw a blank with Pierce my contact in the UK has a set - can't confirm price, but the last ones we stocked we around £12.00 each.
