Hello, what happened to yours ? If you get stuck, you can also try TRutlands or www.eurospares.co.uk who sell used parts. Best Regards from Germany Martin
I broke the mounting ear for the float off when I was pushing the pin out. I guess I'm not the first one to do this as the few places I've called looking for one all asked "Did you break the flout mounting ear?" before I said anything!
I would NEVER recommend this, but in my mis-spent youth I did the same to a 40 DCOE on an Alfa 1300 coupe and fixed it with JB weld. Never had a problem. Submitted for entertainment value only.
Hello Sean, glad, that you may have found one. But I'm curious, because it's always good to know where to obtain such 'rarities' in emergency. Where did you find that carb top ? Best Regards from Germany Martin
Well I'd thought I'd found one at Superformance.co.uk but it's a 4-bolt top. Anyone else have a source for one? I've called all over. Several people are looking but no one has called back. Pierce said they just weld them up but, yikes, pot aluminum doesn't weld very good. I really want to get my car back onto the road.
Hello Sean, sorry no better suggestion at the moment, but if all goes wrong; there's a current auction on ebay UK, where you could get two used 40 DCNF with 5 bolt cover. http://cgi.ebay.de/Two-Weber-Webber-DCNF-40s_W0QQitemZ8044657364QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Best Regards from Germany Martin
