ok, looking for a set of twin weber's for my Cav, however this is not the most usual request so i'm having real trouble finding anyone who can help me... i'm wondering if you lot can help/know someone who can!?!

my Cav runs the Vauxhall/Opel 1979cc 20S 8v engine that kicks out 100bhp standard and i know i can get a single weber/k&n for my car lickity split... no shit!

but i don't want to settle for a single carb when i can have two huge ones feeding my engine... i know twin weber's (possibly Del'Ortos) have been put on a 2.0 Manta (same engine) but don't how to go about getting them for my own car... after some research the best response i've got is from Southern Carburettors who say they've seen it too but don't know anyone who can make me a manifold...

my question is this: anyone out there know of:
a. someone who can supply me with a twin manifold
b. someone with a system applied to a Manta (or similar) or a modified Manta owner who may be able to point me in the right direction

i really need to speak to a carb specialist face to face, unfortuantly i'm at a loss who to contact and i know what i want in my head and i need this confirming on paper (if such a thing is possible)

this is a strange request and i don't really expect any replies but any help would be great!!! cheers!

Littlegearl, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Bill Blydenstein name, try him on 01763 272 866.

thanks for replying (twice ) i know Blydenstein, but don't know a contact no. and knew he was "the daddy" for Vauxhall tuning - now i can contact him i will try him out!!!

'Cav tuned by Blydenstein' has quite a ring to it me thinks
