Out of interest where did you get the fine mesh filter from?

I took out the sender last night, and the filter element wasn't really dirty...so i looked back at the carb, took it off, and it looked like there were some splits in the carb mount on the manifold, so am picking one up today...fingers crossed Smile

Also going to order the weber carb...i may as well now i have started!!

I think the carb to manifold rubber flange was about £10 from gsf...that sorted the problem...but also gave me chance to replace other bits under the bonnet Smile
