Title: Weber Air filter base Post by: Burnsy on November 30, 2005, 12:57:24 PM Hi all, I am chasing a second air filter base the same as this one. It measures 172 x 109mm. Condition is not important and I only need the base but if anyone has a complete unit (or two) I would be interested. I plan on casting some period style finned alloy tops to match the manifold and my Rocker cover but I would rather have two bases to start with.
Thanks, mike (http://photobucket.com/albums/v232/EKBurnsy/TwinWeber.jpg) PS Do you like my dining table centre piece - my wife did ;) Title: Re: Weber Air filter base Post by: 4hammers on November 30, 2005, 09:02:01 PM Can't help, Mike. But I love the centre piece. The little mat displays the mainifold & carbs beautifully. All you need is a couple of daffodills down the throats.
I have tried this, even at one stage setting up the Norman as a centre piece, but my wife does not seem to share my imagination. ::) ::) Seriously though, would be keen to see how you go with those cast parts. Something I have always wanted to do, but the foundry down here isn't into smaller works & the one up North is just that, up north & too far away.

Now I just need a video camera to capture Erin's reaction ;) (http://photobucket.com/albums/v232/EKBurnsy/twinwebercentrepiece.jpg) Jezz I hope you havn't got one still attached to a carby - it has taken me 12 months to find a set of DCD carbies to fit - the new one in the pic is a different model and is just sitting there to look good until the second DCD arrives in a few days. If you have got a base that you want to part with could you bring it Sunday?

Rob J Title: Re: Weber Air filter base Post by: jezz on December 03, 2005, 12:27:15 AM um... ::) it's still connected to the carby, it's a Weber DGA 32/36 from memory, pulled it out of the shed yesterday.
it has got surface rust from the poor factory chroming, I'll bring it on Sunday for you to have a squiz It's even got a dust coated filter and 2 of the clips to hold it together. :) Jezz Title: Re: Weber Air filter base Post by: Burnsy on December 07, 2005, 12:53:17 PM Bump......... still after one of these , search your sheds.
Jezz the one you gave me is too long, same brand - borg warner I think, but different. I will bring it back to you at the meeting next week. PS carbies and manifold are still on the table :), flowers are long gone though. |
