Hello all, I'm just trying to get my greasy little hands on a manual pedal box to suit a Alto. I have looked at a hatch one but they are different and was wondering if any one might have one laying around or in a wreck that they might want to get rid of. Of course i would cross your palms with gold ...

That grease idea is a bloody ripper.


I never thought of doing that to hold the balls in place. I have used grease before to hold nuts in sockets and the likes to prevent loosing them if working in a downward position.

I've never worried about a carbie kit with all the other carbies I've used on various cars before. I just put the carbie in a bucket and cover with petrol and let soak for a few days and then give it a good clean with a cheap/old tooth brush. I then usually pull the lid off of them, making sure I do...

Had a quick look in the book while down the main drag. 15 seconds later, pg 15, part# 10-112, adaptor plate for webber carbie to suit datsun 1600,180b,200b,bluebird,260c,240k etc etc.

Enjoy the fun of Webber Power.......

Just go to your local auto shop. Look in the redline book and get the adaptor that fits a webber carbie ie a 32DIR or DVGA 32/26 (same stud pattern) to a datsun 180b, 200b, blue bird or 240k manafold (they are all the same). The dato carbies have the identical stud pattern as the suzuki. The adaptor...

You could try phoning Fiaparts in Melb. 03 9532 1584. Last time I was chasing a carbie I rang them and a 30DIC Webber (Fiat 850) was $80 plus gst plus frieght. If you want to have a play around I sourced a 32DIR of a Renault and put that on. All I needed it to fit it was a webber adaptor plate from...

Thats cool. I can get plenty of hatch pedal boxes but can't find any alto pedals. I might just put out a wanted ad.

Any luck having a look for the pedal box?

That would be very much appreciated.

You wouldn't happen to have the manual pedal box still? Just saw your post.

Gee, your fairly smart for a Taswegain.

Then again I suppose 2 heads are better than 1. LOL

Ever wondered why New Zealand race horses run so fast? They saw what happened to the sheep.

If you want you could always go down to Bunnings and get a step ladder, but that would just be wrong, unless it was a pretty cow.

When you do, have a look at what sort of float you have. The early types have a very brittle yellow type plastic float in them while the newer,more betterer floats were made out of a black type of abs style plastic. Old yella types shatter while the cool black ones are good. As they say in the movie...

Rip the lid off of the carbie and make sure the float is actually floating. I had the same thing happen to me. Tha float got a crack in it and wouldn't seal off the needle and seat that fills the fuel bowl. You can either source a new/2nd hand float or atack the crack with some loctite 401 or 406, o...
