No Nicko, they are sidedraft stromys of a 73 triumph 2500 TC, not the X2 style but i really want to use them because they would make the car go so much better and there unusuall.

cheers matt

Hey all ive got a set of twin sidedraft strombergs that i would like to put on my red 202 but i cant find a manifold to suit them, does anyone know if or where i can get one?

Cheers matt

Thanks for the help Harko, i am sure mine are original 13" tasmans but as i dont have access to the wheels right now because the car is in the shop i am going to assume that they are welded and not worry so much about getting new wheels.

Cheers Matt

Does anyone know how much a set of tasmans would be worth in fair condition?
 
And also ive been told that they are illegal in vic know with the new regs because of the way that the centres are connected to the rims, is there any way to get around this?
 
Cheers, Matt

Hey everyone,
my knowledge of carbies is a bit lacking, i know what they do and thats about it.

I have an LC GTR Torana with a worked 202 (I know this is an FE/FC forum but you guys are so much more helpfull than most of the guys on the torana forums and usually know more than them to, plus my dream is to own a nice FC Special one day)  i am trying to figure out what carby setup to use and was thinking of either twin SU's or twin stromy's as i cant afford to buy or run tripples but will consider any setup, i am currantly running a single twin throught stromy and also have a 350 Holly double pumper and manifold sitting in the shed that i took off as it chewed through to much fuel (i am on a bit of a student budget) any ideas?

cheers Matt

thanks anyway mark, ill keep looking.

Matt

Does anyone know how much a set of tasmans would be worth in fair condition?

And also ive been told that they are illegal in vic know with the new regs because of the alan key bolts holding the centres in, is there any way to get around this?

Cheers, Matt

hey, i am after a set of center caps to suit Tasman mags, they don't have to be original so long as they fit, if anyone can halp me that would be great.

cheers, Matt

Thanks for the info Alex, is Tasman the brand or the design, because i have heard of Tasmans but was under the impression that they were similar to American racing rims or "jelly bean mags" ?

Also I am after a set of center caps to suit these mags and cant for the life of me find any, I would rather plain one's as the originals just get nicked, but im not fussed originals look better anyway.

Cheers Matt

Hey everyone,
does anyone know what the mags on Ziggy's FE are called and what they originaly came out on or are they non factory, as I have a set and have never seen them before untill know and would like to now a bit about them i thought they might be rare because like I said Ive never seen them before.

Cheers Matt

Cant decide which colour to use  ???

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering whats the go with fitting a benchseat to an fc that has had a 4 speed manual slotted in?

And also how hard is it to fit an EK steering column to an FC?

cheers Matt

Hey guys,

One problem with changing from ford stud pattern to holden is that ford use 1/2" studs and Holden use 7/16 studs  :-/.

plus im guessing that there falcon, & there pitch circle is alot larger than early holden

Thanks stinky, ill check them out, the ones in Kilsyth & Ringwood sound good, unfortunatly there not three on the tree :(

cheers, matt
