Based in Poole, my father has a '71 Morgan with a 1700 cross flow, need the carb setup. It was either replaced or rebuilt around 1000 miles ago so just needs adjusting. I assume the jets are all correct as the whole car was rebuilt by a Morgan specialist around 2 years ago. Does anybody have experience of somebody that Is very good in the south west? Thankyou for any leads.

I've heard nothing but good things about Tipton Garage near Sidmouh. I know people with anything from base spec fiestas to webbered race engines who have been more than happy with them. No first hand experience but I'm sure a quick search will reinforce their reputation.

Another vote for Tipton garage though they are a bit distant from you.
Also consider Steve Harris in Cranborne (BJ Autobits) or Sigma Engineering in Shaftesbury. Both are old enough to remember carbs!

I will enquire at BJ autobits, I assume they're the guys that have all the race mini's hanging around? Harris Motorsport rings a bell. My house is about 2 miles from there so probably a good shout

Yes, that'll be them. Steve is a long time Mini hillclimber and very successful at it.

Slark's at at Amesbury are good up to 250bhp. Tipton are good but the Healey made their 500 bhp road cut out twice  |
