I've been putting off a precautionary throttle cable change for quite a while, as it looks a bit of a mare of a job. Been making a few notes from various "how to's" including of course Mike and Pat's procedures. In order to gain as much space between the airbox and carbs prior to removal, is it possible to withdraw the intake rubbers into the airbox if the filter was removed. I know you've got a fair idea how to tackle carb removal from the cable change you did a while back.
Blimey, Hungary. That’s a long way from Biggin Hill
Oh well, time for you to get the carbs off then. I’m trying to get a bit more info regarding pushing the airbox boots into the airbox to create more space. Everything’s undone, just waiting for the info as don’t want to risk mullering anything, and as I’ve got plenty of time it would make sense if it makes carb removal/replacement easier.
Weather forecast at this end of the country is looking dry for the weekend. I suppose no wind is what you'll need if using a tarp.

Isn’t it marvellous. There’s always something that gets in the way (Jag)of what you want to do (Chrysler), even though that is not what you really want to be doing(Fazer).

Playing the long game. I like it
Well, you’ll certainly be dancing for joy at the results of your Ivanising project, when you can get around to doing it. Did you make a start on the Chrysler this weekend?.

Did you make a start on the Chrysler this weekend?.Haven't started that yet. I have however, welded and beefed up my ramp extenders ready for the up and coming car servicing season.Then the welder broke - it's not been brilliant for a while, the overtemp thingy would keep popping and the sheath in the hose (MIG) is broken and would snag the wire feed. The damn things only 30 Years old!So that went in the bin and I bought a new welder this morning. I feel better - this retail therapy has something going for it
