I'm running ZX7r carbs on a 1600 pinto. Their on a Bogg Bros manifold and can thoroughly recomend both the manifold and the carbs. Work perfectly! If you need any more info feel free to u2u me or take a look at my photoarchive.....Oli.

Yeah the Bogg kit was spot on and a snip for £300.

Done it the easy (and expensive) way for my big budget 2L Pinto engine. Now I'm fitting CBR 600 carbs to another engine in true Locost / DIY stylee. Cost so far £19.

Just fired up our racing Avon this weekend on Bogg Bros R1 carbs and manifold and they were indeed plug'n'play.

Running GSXR600 carbs on 2 litre pinto. Not on the road yet but seems to run ok. Made manifold myself-ish. Polished stainless. looks nice. Check photo archive.

As said before - Watch this space for a Bogg brothers alternative at a more realistic price.

Very good point well made. I have my fingers crossed for collecting them tonight at the ne7ers meet.

I should point out that the guy doing my manifold does ali fabrication for cars as a hobby so leadtimes wont be fixed and mate-does-locoster-a-favour rules apply. I didnt want mine till end of May at the earliest hence why its taking a wee while - it fits in with my plans perfectly.

I wont be able to fit until July so any pics will be off the car for now. My whole aim is to do the full conversion for the cost of a Boggys manifold alone. I have to say mind that the manifolds ive seen from Boggys are top notch and will take some beating. Credit where credits due.
