What do you want to know?
One of the endorsements on my apprenticship papers says miller but that was a long time ago.
I also have 30ish years of experience.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

its top secret so ssssssssssssssssssssh
ive got an inlet manifold for a zetce with webbers here,borrowed from bob,my plan is to cut away the plates where the carbs bolt on at an angle so the
ends are at 90 deg to the inlet pipes then make the holes a tad bigger so the throttle bods fit inside newly made hole.
can it be done and why wont it work?
and no a pepper mill wont do the job,tried that earlier
who cares who wins

no problems with doing it if there is enough metal in the manifold.
Vibration will be an issue, though - IIRC the ITBs need to be rubber mounted like carbs.

As stated the machining is not a problem as long as there is enough material.
Regarding the vibration issue I could not tell you if this would be a problem.
I don't see why it should be as a single throttle body system is solidly mounted to the plenum chamber and the injectors solidly mounted in the
ports.
AFAIK Jenvey bodies are solidly mounted.
Unless anyone has any other ideas I would say it should be ok.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

ok cheers for that chaps,looks like enough metal for this to happen,its one of fords finest so vibes i wont worry about.
look at hot shots pics,need some tube/hose as well as machining so my way would seem simpler?
so who wants to do the job and how much?

Possibly - I've not seen a definitive statement either way.
Guess that as they don't have a reservoir and fuel is constantly under high pressure then the vibration may not cause as many(any?) issues...

Hello Paul
It does look a bit tidy doesnt it,it belongs to an old friend around the corner from me and has just been re located in a house move. The owner is a
very able 74year old retired engineer,the house move was like opening up aladins cave of goodies.
The mill is up for sale along with a colchester bantam lathe,they are both single phase and the owner wants £500 for the pair.
He has plenty of other machines he wants to keep for playing around,and also the odd job for me
