[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 18481, member: 4034"] And if you DO tidy up the ports, etc, etc, then you'll need more revs to capitalise on the bigger carbs, and may well lose flexibility. Kevin Traill, of Alverstoke Restorations, will rebore / resleeve a 276 / 289 carb body / slide for about £70. Memory says. He bores the body, fits a sleeve over your slide, turns it to fit. Effectively your carbs are good as new. I had my 289's done, I got them back within a week. OK, Scotland is closer to England than Austria, but I reckon only by two or three days. And £70 is considerably less than the price of a pair of new 289's. Kevin Traill, +44 2392 580 708, after 1630 UK time. [/QUOTE]
