I'm giving some thought to either a set of 2x triple or 3x twin Webers. Obviously, this will require new manifolds. Apart from the question of what size to go for (e.g. 38/40/48s etc), what concerns me is how I get the other vacuum operated equipment (e.g. advance and retard on the distributor, and the brake servo) to work. I suspect it will require small branch pipes running from each of the six inlet manifolds? Any ideas? I've seen ads for such triple car conversions so someone must have one!

Paul Sage down at ARR has at least 1 set of twin triple chokes, he may not be selling but I'm sure he could tell you all the sizes etc. I think he may have a spare set you might be able to persuade him to part with. His number is 0208 766 6480

If youve got the money, Simon Auto sell the complete kit to go, with the carbs, manifolds and linkage and vacuum system.

Aren't Simon Autos the 48 IDA's as on the 310 GT?
