Ferrari Mailing List: Re: weber carb parts

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Thanks Michael,

Pierce Manifolds sells the parts as well but the linkage is another story.  PM 
sells new linkage but it's snap on,  not secured by and adjustable 
screw-thingie.  Yes, it could substitute, in total.  A FerrariChat member had a 
spare 'screw thingie' and is sending it to me.  But that doesn't mean that I 
don't appreciate the reference.  Thank you.
