Joseph or Jerry I am unfamiliar with the CSP linkage. Based on the photos, do you think I will run into any (Linkage) fitment issues with the weber 44's on the short manifolds. I am mostly concerned with the oil filter mount.

I don't think you will have any fitment issues, especially since the stock Kadron linkage has plenty of room.

Thanks Jerry...any prefered vendor for the CSP linkage. The only site I could find is the UK site.(or maybe Germany) The carbs are on there way and I am just starting to work on the other parts.

USA website is classicandspeedparts.com Shows $89.00. From what I have heard from someone that bought one it was more than that.

classicandspeedparts.com is the place. A friend recently bought the linkage from them and it was 89.95 + shipping of course. They used to have sales on occasion where you might be able to save a couple bucks.

OK I went with a set of used Italian 44's that I sent off to have completely rebuilt, rejeted and ready to go. I ordered the CSP linkage and that is ready to go. I'm calling CB to get the rest of the set-up today and I have some simple questions. I am going with the Type 3 manifolds. Jerry, did everything fit ok with the CSP linkage and the short manifolds. My carb guy mentioned that I may need to add some length to the threads do to the extra length. He also said it's no big deal..... The other thing..... I have a choice of running 1 3/4" CB aircleaners without my current velocity stacks Or I can order the 3 1/4" air cleaners and use the stacks. Anyone know if I am so pinched for space that I need to run the shorter air cleaner or should I be ok with the 3 1/4? I know I can always return them but just looking to get it right off the bat. Thank you,

I got sucked in by the shameless plug and ordered the book.... I actually find this issue of dual carb fitment interesting, I had no idea. Olli

I just stuffed a set of 48IDA's with tall manifolds into my FiberFab. I can't run K & N style oval filters, only the ones that snap over the velocity stacks. I also had to cut a hole in the "firewall" for one of the velocity stacks to have clearance. It gives it that race car look. And when you step on them, it gives it that race car sound & feel, so it is worth it. Tom

Got any pics of them? It sounds pretty cool

Thank you,[/QUOTE] The CSP linkage worked great right out of the box with the short manifolds. Make sure you put a little anti sieze on the linkage threads so they don't gall and cause many more hours of aggravation.

2275 CC Motor with 48 IDA's can be seen here: http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/Toms ... b/P7160193 Look above the drivers side carb and you can see the "clearance hole". I can't run even these air cleaners if I want it to really go. I have another set of velocity stacks with just mushroom shaped wire mesh. If I want to run K & N oval filters, the cover that is normally over the engine area would have to have some large holes in it. Please ignore the wiring "mess" shown in some of the pictures, that is being fixed now. Tom

When we were building a friend's buggy there were problems with the Weber air cleaners hitting the taillight mounting hardware under the the body. We simply cut the flanges off the manifold and welded them on offset from their original location to actually move the carb forward. You can see the weld in the picture and you can also see it has since been turboed and fuel injected.

Wow! I like that:rock:
