The awful twin choke downdraft Weber carb and all it’s heavy gubbins was dumped and the tank gutted to fit a flat bottom with normal fuel taps to normal carbs such as smoothbore Amals or flatslides.

Really nice, and easily achievable. Alternatively, it’s a great base to build a TT1 or TT2 replica using ...
