number plate ends in 219, dont want to put full details up, will put a photo next time I have my camera ready on the front seat.

headers and manifold are in the shed somewhere, don't know if there original, wouldn't know if they have any identifiable markings

The way to tell the 186S headers from the X2 headers is the auto choke hole that goes through the 186S and not the X2, Trev 8) .

here's one I prepared earlier ...

Can someone tell me
on the ww stromberg carb on the thermostat cover assembly the part that operates the choke where the thread is with the hole in it its sucking air is this hole meant to suck air or does it get blocked off or does it go somewhere? I think I read that it had a copper pipe going to ...
