AlanRM Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Guys - I need a twin choke downdraught Weber carb for a 2l Pinto. The engineer doing this would normally source (he is a specialist) but his best friend (and a very good friend of mine) died last week, and I am trying to save him time. All suggestions welcome. I am in the Horsham (West Sussex) area, and believe there is a good breakers yard specialising in Escorts, Cortinas, etc. - any thoughts, please??? Or any others???? Thanks in anticipation

preacherman Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 Fast road cars in Newport are good. I bought a new 32 36 dgv and it's spot on.
-JC- Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 I'm in Surrey too. For second hand spares in the area I'd recommend Escort tec - http://www.escort-tec.co.uk/Parts.html or tickfordman / johnocapriman - http://www.capriwiki.com/index.php?title=Tickford_Man
