Buying bits

Post by **maverick** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 12:04 am

Where do you think is the best place to buy engine bits from? If looking for a better manifold, inlet manifold, carb, etc. cant really see things like that on ESM Bull motif and Morris minor centre.

eBay, or better still go to amazon, buy Vizard's book and take youre existing parts & make your own!

ebay is your friend - don't buy the first to come along - there will be others. MG Metro alloy inlet manifold and HIF 38 (or 44 for a 1275) carb are what you want. Can be found for ~ £5 each (plus post) if you search! Vizard book also plentiful on ebay - there is an A series one, and a Mini one. A series more directly useful if you don't have a Mini!

Well the last couple of manifolds sold for £40 and the carbs go for similar amounts its a long time since I have seen them go for a fiver, maybe they are cheaper over the border

I saw one of each go for £5 (plus post!) in recent weeks ! I'm not in the market - but I do have searches running all the time.
