I just joined the group this weekend and want to introduce myself. I have a 1972 TR6 Laurel green in color with black interior. I am the only person who has ever done any work on this car since I acquired her back in 1984. I'm currently rebuilding the carbs (175 CD-2 Strombergs). I am at the crossroad of having rebuilt the first carb and with the exception of the metering needle gasket replacement. I can't find any decent schematic or instruction on this topic. The oil damper in the dashpot has never leaked thus making me consider skipping this step which I assume is where the last gasket in my repair kit goes...Any advice? Here goes my first post-hope it works...
 
Thanks for the reply and the great link on the rebuild. Wish I had joined earlier!
 
Welcome! I have a Vauxhall Viva GT which also has Stromberg CD 175 carbs. I have a scan of the Haynes Stromberg Manual - PM me your email address and I can send it on if you are interested.
 
Thanks it took awhile for me to find your response on this site. Need to spend a little more time online. Thx in advance.

Judge, I took the liberty of modifying your email address using the :at picture (It's one of the smilies icons ;)). Reason is because when you post your email in a public forum it is guaranteed to be seen by "spam bots" that crawl the internet and "harvest" email addresses they find. Next thing you know you will be getting tons of unwanted spam emails. By using the :at instead of the actual @ sign, the bots won't recognize it as an email address, but any human reading it will.
