Hi Tom,

are you wanting to go that way because you still have not managed to make your mixers work on the SU's as yet?

If that is the case then just fit some of the propper mixers that you can buy and alter the bolt holes to fit.

The webber mixers are not very good and do not work well at all.

Personaly I would run LPG only and fit a pair of throttle body and use simple ring mixers. Worked well on mine with very good power.

its ok the mixers work well now but i cant run on petrol cos i have taken out the slides from the sus as i was finding that they were causing me a bit of lag the car is ok tho and pulls well up to about 90mph but i have not tried it above that yet as the steering is a little twichy so any advice to help that would be welcome i thought that maybe a few shims under the rear of the cross member might help

have a look at this thread for some ideas. http://forum.landrovernet.com/archiv.../t-218515.html

You can also use a vacuum solenoid to lift the dashpots but I have never done this myself.
