Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
Servo / master cylinder and heater valve removed more easily than I expected.
Inlet manifold removed and on it's way back to Rockwatt Engineering for modification.

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
Does the carb clear with the vacuum takeoff spacer removed? You need to remove that spacer anyway as the vacuum takeoff is on the wrong side of the butterfly with that fitted. As per Nigel heads write up, linked in the SU carb thread the dizzy vacuum takeoff needs to be on the air filter side of th...

Inlet manifold being removed and ssent back to Rockwatt Engineering for modification.
Am still thinking about replacing the existing Spanish [Girling / Lucas] servo / master cylinder with a later Japanese one. Understand heater valve needs relocation if I do this.

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
Is the carb making contact with the servo? Where did you get your throttle linkage plates? I've just sent my manifold off to Richard aswell. Hopefully I'll clear my servo. No there is no actual contact with servo. Just very close and I was proposing to use a circular air cleaner that will clash. Li...

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
As expected clash when SU carb fitted. Wilwood valve easy movement. but seems the Rockwatt modified manifold does not move the carb away from the servo / master cylinder enough.

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai
Old brake lines.
After trip to Earls at Silverstone, replacement lines.
Provisional position of Wilwood valve, to be verified after installation SU carb & air cleaner.
