    I am in the process of installing EFI on my European 328 GTB, using TWM DCNF type 44mm Dia Throttle bodies, haltech e11v2 ECU for the fuel (Full sequential) and ignition (retaining the distributors). I plan on using a 308 Carb air box (de-restricted as per recent posts by Russ and others) to retain a stock look to the engine bay and for ease of ducting ECT.
    I am producing drawings so a local foundry can cast the inlet manifolds and need the following information.
    1. The overall height, from the carb flange to the top and outer dimensions of the carb air box.
    2. The offset, both east west and north south to the centre of the carburettor throttle bores.
    The aim is to avoid clearance issues with the engine cover that Russ experienced and the cost is much less.
    I will post full details of the project, with as many photographs as possible on completion.
    I also have a set of Koni Alloy 82 series D/adjustable shocks and 300lbs/in Front 275lbs/in, rear hyper coils, the eye mounts supplied with the shock is solid steel 1.0" OD and 1/2" ID retained by circlips both sides, I need to replace these with a poly alternative with Ferrell ID of 12mm and a total mount width of 45mm.
    Has anyone used these shocks and if so can you supply me with the supplier/part number of the eye mount used.

    Many thanks

    Hi Jeremy,
    As it was me who started the whole issue, and first removed the sound deadener screen perhaps I may be of assistance.

    Are you going to be tracking your car? The 8212 shock is designed to be rigid mounted via the 1/2" id spherical. You could have some top hat spacers spun up so the damper will bolt straight in. Ride might be a little rough for street use though.
