I rebuilt my weber idf 40s (which now leak.. gotta work on that) and bought a hex bar linkage kit from Empi. It's listed as a Type IV 914 linkage, and says it's adjustable for different applications. It has about 2" of adjustment on each end, and it says you can cut up to 1" off each end to shorten it further.
Unfortunately, I need to lengthen it by about 1/2" for it to fit my manifolds (no idea what brand they are). I can think of two affordable options.. 1. Replace intake to carb spacers with gaskets. 2. Cut and weld an extension onto one of the end ball bolt thingies that screws into the hex bar. Is it so bad to do #1? (I know the spacer blocks heat) Any other suggestions? |
