Hi I am looking a Weber Carburettor for my Manta 1.8s project

Thanks in advance

Sid

By one new from webcon. They aren't expensive when you take into account buying an old one and refurbishing it to new standard.

Hi  will let you know i found plenty of kits for the 1.6/1.9 cih engines 

I recently fitted a Weber  kit to my Manta A .The car would never start on the original Solex unless i sprayed brake cleaner down it ,now a slight bit of choke and she fires up very pleased

The Weber carb you want for 1.8s should be a 32/34 DMTL.

That is the one that is fitted to our 1.8s 1984 GT

I managed to pick one up brand new in the box from Beaulieu at their Autojumble a year or so ago, for £60 still on the market and still listed on the web com site.

The 32/36 is the better choice. But you're right they don't sell it as a kit. But they do sell the carb to manifold adapter plate and you can remove the throttle bracket off the manta carb to fit to the weber.

I'm doing this conversion now but struggling with the throttle link.

does anyone have any pics?

Which part are you having trouble with?

I took the varijet linkage off, opened up the square hole a fraction and swapped this onto the Weber.

This enabled the use of the standard 1800 throttle cable etc.
