Hiya,
Just to let you all know that I now have a few pics of Bike carbs on a Zetec in an Avon (phew) in my photo archive.

The engine seems a bit far forward, or nose cone a bit far back!

I didn't think the front would be under the bulge in the nosecone!

Hi Ian just got the photos to work thay look very good let me now how thay perform when you get it on the road Graham

must be the nose cone, the gearbox has only 15mm left to go back on the propshaft!


Northy - 17/5/05 at 08:06 PM

Have you tried fitting the bonnet?


Northy - 17/5/05 at 08:10 PM

The bolts holding my nose cone on go through where the white arrow is on this picture.

Car looks great by the way! Rescued attachment orange avon.jpg

Ian, where are you in the UK?


Ianz18avon - 17/5/05 at 08:12 PM

I'm getting worried now, I just looked at the pics and the nose is as far forward as it can get! no not tried bonnet yet.

I mounted my nosecone with the bonnet fitted. I trimmed a little off the back of the bonnet to square it up, and left the bonnet as long as possible.

If your local I can bring mine over if you want. Where are you?

Graham, I think but not 100% that the "book" shows plastic SVA covers over bolts where I've put mine I'm gonna check bonnet and book 2moro tho (book in garage,garage a mile away!) I guess your not local going by the name.

Mines bolted as Ianz18avon, as the bonnet would have been too short. I think that was mainly due to the haphazard way that tiger trim their panels. I wish they left them too big for us to trim. I had the same at the front of the body side rolls where the meet the dash. Had to glass in extensions.

Looks like Bogg Bro's work...

Would be very interested in the pipe work to and from the carbs???
What are you using for the fuel pump/rad ect????


Ianz18avon - 18/5/05 at 06:35 PM

I've got a polo rad and NF Autos pump(which may be a mistake) and a filterking regulator/filter.
