best position for a weber box
Turbo Mini Forums

I am nearly at the stage where I can pull the old engine and stick in the new one, and will need to cut a nice large hole in the bulkhead for a 6 inch manifold and K&N filter.

Is there a guide out there with instructions on where the box needs to be located.

Thanks
James

its not dead centre, its about 1" offset toward the passenger side iirc

either way, when i put mine in (an avonbar one) i overcompensated by about an inch but luckily it doesnt foul

I made a piece of cardboard ith size of the box and played around with it on the bulkhead till I got were was just right just be carefull to leave loads of room at the botom of the carb because when the engine flex accures the carb could foul the box

yeah mine was close, i cantered the engine forward a smidge to get a little extra clearance

Hi,
Mines sits just above the holes for the choke and heater cables, and just to the right of the speedo cable hole
