[QUOTE="ianstaley, post: 99757, member: 2989"] So after reading this stuff (most goes over my head right now) I have taken the plunge and bought the VW centre section Plenum £61 delivered in the UK, I don't need it right now, but like everything in this world it is only getting more expensive every day. So buy it now some money later when I do need it. so watching this very close. I am still not sure which carb to go for. The CT type solex is quite cheap even new, whereas the Webber is very expensive here and of course mine is your standard GL1000 from 79. So by the time I get to do this over here in the cold UK the problems with jets will be pretty much solved. Everything is so cheep in the US $90 delivered for a carb is theft man.... I can only dream. As for the sealant, vitron seals are fine with gas and can take the newest fuel types with I think methanol in it. but in the reply above sounds like we used to do on the boat with Sikaflex sealant just sit a bead on one side that you want to seal, just get both sides to slight squeeze the Sikaflex leave for about 4 hours till it get a bit of a dull skin on it the tighten, forms a perfect seal.
