[QUOTE="jkp, post: 645497, member: 23500"] Hi there Having just fitted a pair of twin carbs to my bay I'm down to finishing touches. My van runs has a history of running pretty hot so whilst this might be nitpicking / worrying unduly now that the pre-heat inlets are blanked I'm looking at the tinware that used to clamp around the risers and wondering if I should be doing anything to reduce potential heat / air intake now that the pipes are gone. I can see a couple of options: - Figure out something I can use as an insulator to fill the clamps and provide some better sealing / insulation above the blanking plates. - Replace the tinware with some new stuff with no holes for the risers. Everyone says new tinware isn't very good compared to the OG stuff (which I believe mine is) though... Thoughts? Cheers! [/QUOTE]
