I have the C8 running OK now, I had a few problems with the Rochester carby .

I have made up a brass metering plug that fits into the fuel inlet brass elbow . The elbow is not original , it had a large 1/4" hole in it and the fuel was gushing in and overcoming the needle and seat to some degree . I drilled a .060" metering hole in the plug I made . I have noticed that Holden Stromberg carbies have a similar metering hole in the fuel inlet union , the hole is progressively larger as the motor increases in ci size from grey up to red 202 . I think the metering hole restricts the fuel flow and the carby is happier .

On another topic. Does anyone know what type of mirror fitting method is used on the early cab 11/12 solid rear vision mirror arms ? The non adjustable arms . The mirror mounts to the arm somehow ? I need a close up pic of the mirror and its mount . Mike
