Hello You set up does not seem correct, there should be a pipe between the carbs which from memory crosses above the linkage. I think the metal pipe is fitted the wrong way round. Sorry my GT6 is in he garage and I can't readily get I out to check. But I feel the metal pipe is incorrectly fitted. Are the carbs the same as I think hey should be a paired.  Graham Ps if I get chance will check, but have you googled picture of GT 6  delco carbs which you have.

Hello Andy You may need to consider moving the hand brake guides as well to avoid the doughnuts.  I believe the Rota flex cable is longer than the non Rota flex cables. Graham

Yes it stop the leak and yes did check the float height, also replace needle and jets. Finally tuned and running fine. I do have surplus bowels if you need any. Graham

Richard, will do. Thanks. Graham

Hello Can anyone tell me the thread size on the grub screw fixed in UJ? Looking for a suitable grease nipple. Cheers Graham

Update, I did have to remove a couple of mm from each screw however all fitted and no leaks. Bad news this has now lead to new jets and needle to get the carbs tuned correctly. I have access to a good mobile tuner in the Nottingham area (been using him for a number of years now), possible last of the few as people now plug computers into cars. Any interest in having your car tuned at home PM me. Graham

Last night went to fit bases TO 150CD however was not able due to the screw that are required, the current screws are either too long or the short one just grip the threads. I felt this was not quite right. Today went to engineering suppliers and got the following 8-32x11/4 UNC cap heads to do the job. All the screws required on these bases are the same length. I hope this helps anyone else considering this job. Graham

Fortunately or not my GT6 has top adjusters as well, hence the leak. Just ordered some new gaskets so hopefully get them fitted later this week when delivered. Graham

1968Vitesse25, You should. Had the GT6 booked in for an MOT on Saturday, took it out of the garage on Friday night for a final check. Petrol poured out of the front carb. Stripped the carb down to check the needle valve, still no joy. So cancelled MOT. Saw this thread on Saturday night and brought two on Sunday after it was confirmed that they would fit CD150s. So to all thank you for the lead. Hopefully MOT next Saturday. Graham

There is a flat spring c clip that a split pin is inserted into, this clip has a habit of sliding down the split pin and can cause the handle not to work. Slid the c clip up the up the pin. I normally us the insert of a electrical connector block on the pin to hold the clip in place. Graham

Following on does anyone have experience of solar powered chargers? Graham

Thank you all who replied, ended up with polybrushes from Rimmer who I was attempting to avoid. Went with polybushes as I have a kit of them. Told not to mix them up ie different types on each side so decided to keep same brand all round. This from another supplier. Graham

Hello, can anyone help with information? Number of years ago I purchased some polybushes which were well priced compared to the normal sources. They had been recommended by various people here and other sites. I do not have the suppliers details any more does anyone have a recommended source other than the standard triumph ones? Thanks Graham

I place two rods passing through the engine plate and the bell housing top bolt holes, then you ensure the plate and bell housing are parallel top to bottom and each side. Generally the rear of the engine needs to be lifted  some height to align parts. Graham
