Your local spares shop should be able to offer you the Roshester to Weber 38 adaptor. Just a bolt-on item! :D

Or you could get the intake that I got recently for my L6. No adapter needed. Its a bit expensive though.

I got the intake from Carb City in Pretoria. Its an aluminum intake.

I used a second hand carb, just put a new kit on it. Getting the jettings right is the hard part.

Good luck

Hi Johan which spares shops in Cape Tould I would find these adapters?

Also what will the costs involved be if you made that modified 4100 manifold to fit my Weber 38 DGAS carb?
