I wouldn't change mine back, I like the extra response & the induction roar, but you do need cam, exhaust, manifold, rockers, etc to make the most of them, RR

Insulated the stainless fuel pipes with HT sleeving, that's the last thing to try & I'm out of ideas then, not long before LMC traffic jams so will find out then if I've cured it. RR

Had a bit of grief with this as well, usually on hot summer days in traffic. I had the problem with Strombergs & a mechanical fuel pump as well as triples & an electric one. To date, heat shields under the carbs, stood the coil off & heat shield, changed to Stainless fuel pipe in the engine bay, took the rear bonnet seal strip off & replaced with small sections to get some air out, also aux cooling fans in the valance to bring cool air in, electric fan on manual switch as could never get the hysteresis right on the capillary. Last thing to fit before Le Mans is sleeving over the fuel pipes. It's definitely vaporization as with all the fans on it behaves itself but i'd rather not drive around sounding like a Dyson. RR

Probably, but I mounted them at the front of the engine valance, so there they are best pushing. Still got to sleeve the fuel pipes before the run to Le Mans Classic, the traffic jams there are a good test if I have cured the problem. RR

Getting the hot air out from the engine bay helps, have you the long bulkhead to bonnet seal fitted? If so try smaller sections. On my car I also have aux fans in the valances bringing colder air in, 75mm IP56 rated. RR

The seals go on last, you need to make a hook puller thing out of sheet metal, i'm sure the manual shows a picture of one.
