ArglyBargle Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Ok, you'll have to forgive the junk in the backgound, my shed's a mess at the moment. Here she is, she's not pretty.... yet. Is there any difference between the flat top SU's and the round top SU's? I mean besides the shape This is one of my factory mags This is my woodgrain steering wheel. and just because I can, my S30 service manual I scored. Anyway, that's my baby. So, what do ya think?

pcs Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Argly Bargle, You reckon the shed looks bad. How much did they pay you to cart that load of rust away? The flat tops arn't good. Quite a lot different to the round tops.They are very restrictive and in Oz they are loaded with anti polution gear that was pretty crappy. There are quite a few really good early english cars that had original round tops. Have a look at the Triumph 2000 Disclaimer:My sick sense of humour is not always appreciated. Best of luck, pcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatejoefitz Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 From what I'm seeing that looks like a fine canidate for restoration. In my experience, flat tops can be made to perform as well as the rounds, but they are harder to maintain. If you decide to stick with those flat tops, buy a rebuild kit. If you decide to get round tops, get the 3 screw version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArglyBargle Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 ...in Oz they are loaded with anti polution gear that was pretty crappy... it WAS loaded with polution gear, but most of it's been removed. There are still a few remaining bits I'd like to "tidy away". ... If you decide to stick with those flat tops, buy a rebuild kit... They've already had a kit put though them, but if I see a pair of round tops going cheap I'll definately concider them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
