We have lots of these Solex B40 to Zenith 36IV adapters for sale, either bling or patina!

They were used on Series 2 and 2A vehicles that have inlet manifolds designed for the big Solex (up to ‘67?) but were actually fitted with the Zenith 36IV. It brings the linkage for the Zenith in the correct orientation for the carb.

Available with a variety of vacuum take-offs or no take-off at all.

£25 plus postage.

MFM: Massey Ferguson Monday!

Mr Fuggle’s 35 exhumed after 6 months’ storage in an outside Carcoon - it fired up first turn of the key. (Perkins P3 diesel).

Mr Fuggle’s new gaff has a pellet boiler but the PO left the oil tank. This needed to be moved and only the 35 equipped with a 35-7 loader would do! Sorted!

Job done, the 35 was tucked away in its new home.

It’s been mostly Series 1 carbs here for a bit recently (with a big Solex B40 and a couple of Zeniths (obvs) thrown in! All tested on Mr Fuggle’s test rig (with newly Fettled fuel pump and nice pink Lodge spark plugs).

Mr Fuggle's Birthday on Wednesday so he dusted off his first car (at 14!) and had a bit of a blast around the area. The little Sprite looks like a scale model next to Earlstoun power station in Dalry!

Being Mr Fuggle, he couldn't resist a Fettle so he finally fitted the new Undercover Covers tilt (courtesy of Rob Sprason of CKD) to his carburetter testing rig. That should be more water tight than the "patinated" one which looked OK but was rotten in the top and let in the rain. It just needs to shrink to fit now!
Oh, and he rebuilt the fuel pump which had a habit of forgetting it was a fuel pump during carburetter testing - usually on blind bends up a hill.

Well, that’s Fuggle’s Fettling’s world headquarters vacated!

All loaded up in a Transit and soon to relocate North of the Border to join Mr Fuggle in Dumfries and Galloway.

Mr Fuggle and Mr Fuggle senior are now officially knackered!

Thanks to Paul, Geoff and Colin Thomas for their assistance!

There’s a fair few Land Rover carbs in there, Solex 32PBI-2s, Solex B40PAIOs and an absolute ton of Zenith 36IVs as well as Lucas FW2 wipers, Tex Magna indicators and a handful of CW1s to keep Mr Fuggle busy in Bonnie Scotland.

Now in stock!

One fully restored, tested and working Tex Magnalite complete with mounting bracket.

This has been fully dismantled and cleaned. The switch unit has been taken apart by drilling the original rivetted construction and tapping the holes to M2. The innnards have been cleaned, including the contact surfaces and the whole lot re-lubricated and reassembled. The unit is then screwed back together with M2 Cap head bolts. Finally, a new Autosparks loom was soldered to the refurbished switch unit.
The body of the indicator has been bead blasted, etch primed and finished in a semi-gloss colour similar to the original.
The bracket has been cleaned-up and painted in the same colour as the unit itself.
The self-parking wheel has been cleaned, the old tyre removed and a new tyre fitted.
Once it had all been reassembled with painted screws, the unit was wired-up to the testing rig shown in the video and fully tested for switching and cancelling. The video is a bit cack-handed because they're hard to switch with one hand while filming with the other but rest assured it has a nice positive and satisfying click in each direction!

£300.

Mr MacFuggle doesn't do a lot of selfies (for obvious reasons!) but he did relent and take one this morning to celebrate being warm whilst testing carbs today thanks to Jake Payne who has kindly provided a J P Restorations Beanie hat!

That's a set of Zeniths done, more wait in the wings!
