Re: ZS-UDT fuel pump ,carburettor & compufire

I note your comments on the Zenith and have a Stromberg 150 and diy manifold without heater ready but am reluctant to proceed just yet as so much extra work is involved. Have the followin...

Has anyone experience of fitting a CD150 Stromberg to an 1834 VW as a replacement for the original Zenith type32 KL P10 or of rejetting the original to recognise the increase in capacity ? Jantar

Re: Undersized bolts?

Hi I had same situation when I tried to replace these bolts with new. There was only slight polishing on the originals and definitely no wear so I reused them. It has occured to me later that these could be "high tolerance"grade bolts. I have no slop in the aileron circuit. Jantar
