I've unsuccessfully managed to source a decent used weber 45 for my car, so New looks the next option, on ebay you can pick up for under £300, are these the real Mccoy ?, then a jump up to over £400 up to £500 and beyond at various Mini center's and other suppliers
Ebay one

complete with manifold linkages (although i need a short manifold, which this company does)

Your views please guys

Spanish not Italian. Wrong progression circuit......holes in the wrong place and to many. Get a secondhand Italian, 13 is correct for siamese ports but 15 or 16 work well also.

I thought the DCOE 9 was the number to look for. I think my Splits are 16s. I just moved my Weber collection to a couple of four tier rolling shelves. Steve (CTR)
PS how short a intake do you need and which linkage and air cleaner?

Happy for you
My (single) 152 is utter crap.......it's on the shelf now, almost new.......My 16 is on the car now and had a rolling road session and it goes a lot smother with this
And yes, 9's are good to
Anyone wan't a cheap 152??

No, it's a 13 you need. 9s are for 1 choke/1 cylinder like a Healey 3000, though the difference is in the tickover system and makes no difference at full throttle.

So are we saying 152 is the current specification of Weber 45 ? , not as good as a 13, but would it do a good job on a race engine that hopes to deliver 90 to 100 at wheels ?
If not do they still do a 13 new ?
Does anyone know here what the Historic Touring car guys are using ?

Now that's a plan Stu, think I'll give them a call tomorrow, see if I can put a deal together, they seem to be the UK Weber specialists
