FirstDime Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Next was getting the dual carbs set up.. Spent a long time trying to find replacement o-rings for these isolators with no luck. someone who rebuilds Mikunis told me to get these, so i spent a good amount of time on the phone calling all over to see if any place had them in stock locally. finally fount a place super close and they had 8 in stock!! finally able to get the carbs on now tuned out super clean with the throttle cable and linkage. Cable is all dialed in for full throttle and the stopper is adjusted so i cant go passed and hurt the carb or break the cable. 1 Quote Link to comment

DatMo Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Where'd you get that entire throttle linkage from? I really want the wire instead of the mechanical pedal. Everything looks great man! Awesome job! Quote Link to comment

FirstDime Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I got pretty much the same set up. even the cable do you know where to get this cable set up? just wondering in case i need to get a replacement down the line and i love how this goes through the fire wall. Its isolated with a thick rubber spacer on the firewall and then we found some metal sleeves we cut down and pushed into the holes. pretty rock solid 1 Quote Link to comment

S30Jay Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 This is just how I'd want my 510 if I had one. The 2.2 with the mikunis looks so right.....I'll bet that things going to rip! Nice job working out the issues on this car and getting the details right. Seems like it's been a fun project. 1 Quote Link to comment

FirstDime Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 been borrowing a radiator for a minute, the mounting bracket on mine broke off so i dropped it off for repairs. They flushed it and cleaned it up and remounted the bracket, 1 day turn around :thumbup: Got the hood back on last night as well... Gave her a good scrubbing after that, just need to swap radiators and get my grill back on. and then washed this one while i was at it :thumbup: 3 Quote Link to comment
