I got ya, I'll probably convert my Eddy pancake so i can use the snorkel, looks to be the easiest option..

I was looking to keep the feed pipe the same as the RR P38's V8's, i assumed they were up to the job, RPi's look tiny compared to the standard set up. I'm thinking of using my pancake eddy filter & making something out of that. Got a k&N in the TD5 air box i'm gonna use so plenty of filtrati...

Nice, let me know what sizes you went for, i'm gonna try the sizes sidecar uses & see what differences it makes.
I'm gonna get myself a AFR meter after christmas to i can get her tuned up properly..

What air filter you using with the carb?

Hi, what do you guys run plenium wise with a weber/eddy? I dont want to use a pancake airfilter as i've got a snorkel on my 90, i'd like her to breathe fresh air from outside, been looking around & RPI do a plenium for the weber/eddy but dont really like the look of it, could make my own i guess...

I didn't have any problem off roading but admit i didn't go to any extremes, i'm too afraid of rolling the truck. Seems the MegaJolt system seems the be the weapon of choice of many, I'll take a look ...

Brilliant, thank you.

Cheers for the replies, i think i can programme my 123 Dizzy with different curves to suit. As regards the rods you mentioned i'll have a search online & get some. I've been looking at LC1 probes & will get one after christmas, where did you drill the holes on the counter weight? & lastl...

Hi, i'm rebuilding my Defender with a Rover 4.6. I've read quite a few posts on here about setting up carbs & engines but wondered if they will work for my Defender, its not gonna b used on the race track, abit of off roading but nothing extreme as its a canvas top. Mainly for fun, she's not my ...
