I got it from Bogg Bros in the UK. They were the ones who started the Bike Carb Revolution and by far and away the best manifold I have seen.
I have a spare set of R1 Carbs I am selling on eBay at the moment if anyone is keen. Let me know.
Cheers,
Matt

Not much happening during winter. Have lost a bit of motivation but a few things are happening. Picked up a 2nd hand adjustable vernier for the race motor. It was a little rusty and coroded but came up great.   End of the month I am finally getting the power steering installed which should be cool. Due to an arm injury I find it hard turning around the low speed corners due to the amount of caster I am running. I painted the EPS setup Matt Black so it won't stand out so much once installed.  Cheers Matt

Love the look of that cam pulley
Should be interesting to see what you think about the power steering once installed

Cheers Ryan, It's a standard cam wheel machined out and the alloy plate bolted in.
Yeah, looking forward to improved steering too. There is a Motorkhana coming up in Bendigo that it should really come in handy for.
Cheers

I got to ask, where did you get the power steering and how much did it cost?

It's out of a Barina and didn't cost much at all.
Cheers,

Yep, plenty of people have put them in Transits in the UK. Over there the barina is called a Corsa. Do a search for Corsa on Turbosport.
Cheers,
Matt

Hey Mate, it's at a mates workshop being done. I got a kit off ebay to make the sensitivity adjustable. Cheers Matt

Got the power steering all set up and working with a big thanks to Aus4WD in Bayswater Vic. It has transformed the car. Looking at it you wouldn't know it's there (which is good) and it makes the car so much easier to drive without any loss of feedback. The sensitivity is adjustable too. You can even buy a kit on eBay to make the adjustment automatic according to speed. I also had the guys install a Hydro handbrake for a motorkhana coming up this Saturday. Obligatory pics. Cheers Matt

Had the RSOC Vic Motorkhana in Bendigo yesterday. Had a blast and the addition of the LSD and power steering had the day much more enjoyable. Few pics Cheers, Matt
