big gra

i have just bought a webber twin choke carb off ebay. it came with an inlet manifold but a broken exhaust manifold. the inlet dosent match upto my exhaust manifold, it leaves a big gap and as theres a big square hole in the top of the exhast manifold it would leak like hell. the new carb also has a different throttle arrangement, its on the opposite side. any ideas what i should do. i dont see why there is an opening between the inlet and exhaust anyway, sumat to do with heating the inlet maybe.

sorry if ive gone on a bit, but this is the only thing left to do to get my landy on the road. its a 72 2 1/2 petrol btw. cheers all
 
er,right ......... the top of the exhaust ( mine ayway , a 2.25 petrol ) has a square hole, yes for pre heating the inlet manifold, thers a copper or composit gasket to go between,

id try and get a matching set , i have the webber me self , sits on an oval plastic like spacer between carb and inlet ,

my old manifold has a 2 stud carb, the new one has 4 studs. im going to try and find a new exhaust manifold and bolt them together properly. are the 4 stud manifolds off a later series 3? mines a 1972.

mines a 2 studd aswel, the top oval has two studds then sits on an alluminium base 90 degs to the carb, that also has 2 studds then the plastic spacer,


4 studd carb or manifold ?

this is as i got it off ebay. the exhaust manifold is now non existant. the inlet has 4 studs to bolt the carb to it.
 
i see, different carb int it , looks the same inlet tho, not better off getting a new exhaust manif, bout £30 paddocks, mine fitted fine,
