Check your junk boxes pls

I have exactly that t-tube, without cuts, you are welcome to have.

It was part of the job-lot of parts that were orphaned when my bugeye was upgraded to 1275cc by the previous owner about 20 years ago. The 1275 HS2 setup uses a 3-way junction on the top of the front carb instead of the t-tube.

It might need to be very gently and carefully "softened up" with a torch to relieve the work-hardening in the copper.
 
This is what it looks like in the service parts manual...

Oh, I really like your plain chrome or SS license plate frame. Goana have to put one on my list. BUGEYE or any varation I can think of is not available in Florida so expect I will go with an antique license.
 
But do you want the t-tube?
 
Check for a PM.
 
Heh, check for two PM.
 
You get that PM all the way up in NC??
 
It's in a funny improvised box but I didn't want to bend it.... On its way overnight via DHL. One of the few perks I get as an IBM retiree is to get the corporate discount on DHL... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Chris, this one is complete and useable with a manual fuel pump. Thanks guy, yours would work with an elec pump which I do have. However the way Miss Agatha is comming together maybe I'll go back to a manual once I get her up and running. Hehe, sure don't need two.
 
Jack, I think I may have the part you need. Are you using the original 948 SU carbs? I have a old pair of complete SU carbs up in the attic. I'll dig the part out and ship you a photo tomorrow. What I think that part is called in the states is a fuel block.....a tube that splits at a "Y" to feed both carbs. Don
 
Pappy, how the heck are you.

Hay, my problem has been resolved. Chris and ncbugeye have both come to my rescue, ncbugeye with an complete unit and Chris with a partial good for my elec fuel pump.
