Go to your local scrap yard and see if they have a mg meastro there and take the carbs off that i paid £35 for mine :lol:
The rebuild kits cost £15 the linkage i bought from usa with fuel pump and block off for manuel fuel pump cost me £65 with p&p not to bad.
the manifolds i got from fleabay for £41 with p&p. :lol:
So far its worked out at £156 for the carb set up. Nice 8) :lol: :shock:
