One Carb Or Two?

yeah corse, well the spacers between the rose joints are all different sizes some are even missing! seems to have a few bolts that are the wrong size apart from that all is well
i dont have a problem really with this i just thought it would come a little bit more complete rather than a box full of bolts and washers!

Ordered the KAD bias pedalbox today and asked about 13" lightweight alloys. They recommended these ones from MB racing, same as R500 caterham wheels, only 3.6Kg each!!

Bet you could get that massive weight down by loosing a few spokes and cable tying them on instead of using those weighty nuts!!
