Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the following problem. I have just put my new grey motor in the engine bay of my EK and the throttle setup fouls both the extractors and the twin carb manifold. Do I have to swap the bar setup for a cable or is there another way around this problem. Is there anyone that sells a conversion kit for this?

Cheers

       Hilda had the same problem. So the mech that fitted them just bent the flat bar of the linkage out to clear the manifold. Hope this helps.

Thanks Sarge, I was going to do this originally but didn't know how changing the throttle geometry would effect the pedal travel, I'll give it a go and see what happens.
