On a closer look it isn't 2x 1.5" its a 1.5" and a 1.25" SU
But the 1.5" pair is there and so is the manifold...
So is that an injected manifold and a throttle body?

No idea what they are worth. Are they a mirrored pair? Way too big for a 998/1100. |

If they need a rebuild your up for another $100 + the cost of the linkages! You can buy the linkages, I seen them on web sites! If I find them again I'll post a link. Also like Poeee said, too big for a 998 or 1100. Cheers Shane |

Thats ok, if i wait another month or two, i have a family friend who rebuilds them for free, i just buy the kits and they are a matching pair. Wasn't planning on keeping them just wanted to know what theyre worth. I bought a box of random parts for $65 i got; 1x LH 1.5", 2x RH 1.5", a 1.5" twin manifold, a couple of other random SU bits and what i think is an injected manifold and throttle body...(maybe u could elaborate for me). I'll post a pic when i get home |

That manifold at the back is off a 875cc Hillman Imp. It takes a Solex carby. |

a rebuilt set of twin 1.5"s might get $4-600 on ebay, depending on who is bidding... |

Both Kev (irish) & i are sitting here looking at that pic of the carbs & manifolds & it`s looking suspiciously like the manifold is from an MGB,,, so you can use it if you cut it shorter///narrow-er & there`s absolutely nothing wrong with running a 998 or an 1100 with 1&1/2 carbs,,, they run std with 1&1/2 carbs,,, so no different with 2 of them each piston/bore still only sees the ONE carby anyways |

I seem to remember you saying this about some dismantled dizzy's and a few of other parts aswell. You have your work cut out for you there and bucks to be made! (Do I get a cut for getting you on track??  )

No, The MGB uses the B series motor. |
