WRONG FLANGE!
« on: 22 April 2008, 19:51 »
i went to try and fit my webber carb today. i ripped off the pierburg and the i saw the flange and i looked at the webber one then looked at the pierburg, then the webber and so on. the pierburg as a rectangleish flange and the webber is like diamondy. what can i do. apart from getting a new inlet manifold.

pierburg.. hehe.. theres 3 bolts down thru the entire body of the pierburg.. into the flange, and theres an adapter plate with boltings, that go into the flange via the base of the weber, not thru the body like the pierberg

thats why you use the one from the pierburg.. thats the original one after all, which the weber has an adapter to fit to.

it must ahve been fitted to a different vehicle prior to you buying it
