The first one that i fitted I used Holden carby spacer blocks along with the strombergs,I think 2 or 3 blocks brought the carbs up high enough to fit a straight linkage between the carbs,i have also modified the type 3 centre pivot and used the rods with the type 3 carbs fitted using the spacer blocks..Innovation always works.

Here's the plan- looking for the vintage speed look - a '66 bus motor, 74 x 85.5 single port dual carb. Manifolds will need to be tall (similar to the okrasa style) to help with air cleaner fit and linkage. I know I could go dual port and would have no problems finding manifolds. Carbs solex 32pibc's. Shorty type 3 style I have and may use them as a start to make my own manifolds.
