Hiya,
Just to let you all know that I now have a few pics of Bike carbs on a Zetec in an Avon (phew) in my photo archive.

The engine seems a bit far forward, or nose cone a bit far back!

I didn't think the front would be under the bulge in the nosecone!

I mounted my nosecone with the bonnet fitted. I trimmed a little off the back of the bonnet to square it up, and left the bonnet as long as possible.

If your local I can bring mine over if you want. Where are you?

Mines bolted as Ianz18avon, as the bonnet would have been too short. I think that was mainly due to the haphazard way that tiger trim their panels. I wish they left them too big for us to trim. I had the same at the front of the body side rolls where the meet the dash. Had to glass in extensions.
