Talking Need help with fitting Triple SU's in the MK2

Hello all,

I am building up a MK2 and need some advice on fitting my triple HD8's into the MK2.

I know I have to relocate the battery but can someone please tell me what needs to be done to the clutch master cylinder and maybe what parts I use in replacement and a remote reservoir.

Any close up pics would be great.

Cheers

Bunky, I installed a straight port head on my last Mark 2 project. It was a left hand drive so I can't help you with the pedal box issues. The triple carbs and air box required some inner fender mods for clearance. The setup looked great but I was never satisfied with the performance gains. If I were to do it over again I'd use a twin HD8 setup - I think the 420 had these? A lot less work and from what I've heard this setup breathes about as good as the triples. Good luck with the project.
