webber trumpet troubles..

[tom28]

hi all, fitted me 1690 in last weekend only to find the trumpets were too long and were hitting on the brake ressivoiur so i ordered shorter trumpets and now they dont even fit in the carbs ive got twin 40 dcoe webbers and the original trumpets bolted on, looks like the ones they've sent me dont bolt on but rather slide in, so theres not way of fitting them, gotta ring burton and send them back, ive scraped the idea now and mounted 2 revsivours with pipes goin into the cylinder so it looks the nuts

they should slide in between the venturi and the carb body
