Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Just a quick one all; I need to order some air-box to carb gaskets for my 2000 Mk2, but I can't remember what carbs are on it. Fairly sure they're not CD150s, are would they be SU HS6's? If so, where's a good place to get gaskets from, preferably cheap as possible. Never having bought gaskets before as I got a massive box of them with my Herald... but none of them are the right type.BTW, I'm not being lazy, my car is 200 miles away, so I can't just pop out to check what carbs they are!
dazzer Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 They probably will be SUs and a good quality reasonable cheap place to purchase them from is www.burlen.co.uk their web site has a make and model page which will tell you which carbs are fitted.CheersDarren
Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks Dazzer - PS, if you read this, expect update on fibreglass boot lids soon. Trying to find a good Mk1 boot to use as a buck at the moment.
piman Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hello Jonny, don't you have any cornflake packets or the like, just cut new ones with a pair of scissors? They're not a particularly critical gasket.Alec

Trying to find a good Mk1 boot to use as a buck at the moment.Got one here which is fine, from memory. It came with the car with the intention of replacing what was already one there. Only issue is location?

Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 Defo SU's of some kind, didn't take much notice of them when I pulled them apart in terms of size, but definately SU's and not Strongbows.
nang Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 If they have 4 bolts to manifold they're HS6's. If only 2 bolts HS4's. Just cut them from heavy paper, one each side of the heat shields. Cheers Tony.
Jonny-Jimbo Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks Nang, but it's not those ones I need, it's the carb to air-box, so 3 bolts!
nang Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Still really not too hard to make! Bit of card and a pair of scissors!
dazzer Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Is this the gasket you are looking for? Only one unfortunatly from my misc gasket box but if its of any use I can pop it in the post. They actaully fit the 175 Strombergs as well if you detach the top portion.CheersDazzer
