Very good thanks, mine hasn't got a servo so that'll be getting blocked off

If you connect the breather to the inlet it must be before the carb or else it will mess up the idle mixture.

Thanks for the replies about the disti advance connection. I've got a.Webber fitted, and hadn't noticed a port on the carb body. There's a tapped hole in the 90 degree adapter between the carb and the manifold, but that's currently blocked off.
The pervious owner had fitted a different Webber for a Fiat, and that seems to have had lots of ports over it, mostly blanked off. I replaced this with the Weber that seems to be a common replacement on Landies (can't remember the actual model number) for less than the cost of a rebuild kit for the 'Fiat' carb(!), and I'd not yet worked out where to attach the vacuum pipe. I guess I may need to fit a port to the adapter.

Yes, you're quite correct. I do have that port there - I was looking on the wrong side. Many thanks. I think the 'Fiat' carb had the port on the engine side, which threw me. I obviously need a longer bit of hose than I thought I would, to run right around/over the engine.
Nice lights, by the way...look very neat.
@Birdbrain I had replaced by old clockwork dizzy with an electronic one, but both had vacuum advance inlets (or is that an outlet, given it's a vacuum?!)
