Twin DCOE spacing

[Fungus]

Just a quick question;

When installing twin DCOE's, is the spacing of the carbs/distance between them an issue?

I'm designing a manifold and can't seem to find this info anywhere.

Thanks

It's governed by the link between them that operated the throttle.

Thanks for the reply.

So is there a 'standard' size of linkage? The one in the pic looks like it has a certain degree of tolerance in terms if spacing.

Thanks

Would it not be less hassle just to get one made? Try danst engineering they do this sort of thing for a living

It would probably be easier yes, but I'd like to make one.

I will measure the distance between the center ports for you when I'm next down at the workshop

Thanks a lot, that would be a great help. You could always measure the distance between the mounting bolts, might be a bit easier.

The synchronising linkages come in different widths - just the length of the "tang" on one of the pair - if you have the skills to make a manifold adjusting the centre linkage would be a walk in the park. I think I have two or three pairs of varying widths in the Weber bin.

I did wonder whether that was the case. I'm guessing the 'tang' is designed with this in mind, as it doesn't seem to have a solid connection (looks to me as if it just slips in between the two screws).

Thanks for the help.
