[@alberttalbot9534]

Loved your story. I remember my Dad taking me to SU factory in Bham in mid 60s. My 1973 1275GT had big valve race head and hot cam and single 1 1/2” SU.

[@TomShorrock]

thankyou! that sounds cool!

[@deangaryjames]

3 months ago, how did i miss this? Great video boss!

[@TomShorrock]

Cheers dude! I don't know, have your subscribed with notifications on ? ;)

Looking good Tom. 3in1 works well in the dashpot, nice quick throttle response I found. It did bog down though when setting off occasionally. I switched to su branded dashpot oil eventually, slightly thicker. See how you get on

[@TomShorrock]

Cheers dude! I've heard mixed things a lot of people mentioned the 3in1, I'll see how I get on, if all fails I'll jump on the other stuff you mentioned.

Amazing work Tom !!, Its crazy how far your editing has come from the earlier videos.. and also reminds me of how poor mine is ! Anyway Keep up the amazing work man !!!

[@TomShorrock]

Cheers dude! And thanks for noticing! As I do try haha! I looked back on some old videos of mine the other day and I couldn’t believe the stuff I used to put out haha! The problem is it’s now become that polished I struggle to release anything that isn’t edited😂

@@TomShorrock will always be a constant battle with new footage to try and up your last post but I guess we do it to ourselves anyway 😂👌🏼

Beautiful result Thom and a quality video again 👍👏🙂

[@TomShorrock]

Cheers dude! Really appreciate it!

[@graemew7001]

You are a serious card pervert 😂. This brings back memories of over 30 years ago stripping and rebuilding carbs on MGA's, MGB's and Midgets and you're right it is a theraputic pass time, no point rushing because you'll mess up. The end result does make you feel good......omg I'm a pervert too!!

[@TomShorrock]

Hahah! Cheers Graeme! Really appreciate it! You’re right! I certainly am a metal pervert!

,Very nice Tom . Silly question why did you not go for the HS4 carbs.

[@TomShorrock]

they are really expensive compared to HIF 4s

[@markrutlidge5427]

You forgot to polish the manifold 😁😁

[@TomShorrock]

It’s cast! So it would’ntshine up 😂

Hey brother! Love your car! Question, what size wheels do you have, 12x6? Also, was it lowered?

[@TomShorrock]

13x7 dude

[@fordmartin1991]

the design of the su carb is close to bike carbs

[@TomShorrock]

Very True :)

[@ianroberts8692]

Your weird...... but that means..so am I 🤯

[@TomShorrock]

Hahah Thankyou

[@rhodrihow959]

Why bother with the time and effort of using twin SU’s is beyond me. Yes classic carbs to go with the engine look. Obviously over looking the design is 60+ years old and not very refined plus the issue of balancing the 2. You claim to ‘be chasing horsepower’..... Look I did the whole 1380 in a mini thing back in 1989 when I was coming up 17, get a single 1 3/4 to run in the engine then get split 40 Weber’s More power, easier to set up and a million percent worth it for the induction noise when on Full chat.... Good luck and go with what’s best for what you want from the engine, not what looks period correct because if your trying that then your frankly Mongrel of a mini (it’s Black and white plates are illegal for starters) is too far gone to be considered OEM....but hey you turned a damn looking car....considering it’s Red 😁

[@TomShorrock]

Don’t want to cut the bulkhead out to fit Webber’s, doing what’s best for me and what I want to do if that ok ?
