JohnD Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Steve,I made one of these when I first got into Pi. I used a length of heavy (6mm) angle iron, cut away to clear the throttle bodies, and drilled to take pins that fitted the holes in the throttle bodies of an assembled, and AFAIK, undisturbed cylinder head. Once the pins were a sliding fit in the holes in the throttle bodies, I Araldited them into the angle iron. The distance between each two holes in the bodies is fixed, of course and is 130mm centre to centre. The distance between each body and the next is 43 mm.But since then, I've had the bodies on and off several times, and never bothered to use that tool. I'm not convinced it's necessary!JOhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Steve have you got the late inlets? You only need this tool on those; ps the early inlets are easier to setup.Alternatively run a straight edge across the tops of the manifolds and adjust them by eye. The manifolds need to be parallel.

thescrapman Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm supposed to use a tool to line up the manifolds?!?!?!Mmmm..Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilesdive Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I had problems with throttle not returning smoothly on my 1974 TR6, ie the later style.Mr Chatterton dropped in, we used a steel rule as a straight-edge across the tops of the inlet manifolds to line them all up, and it was a lot smoother then.(Guess that's another beer I owe him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
