In which case, you shouldn't have any trouble sourcing a dizzy & Carb? I'm sure there will be members on here who have spare ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleheywoodtanks Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have lots of B series parts, too many really. I should be ok. I wonder what jets are in the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 You can never have to many spares. I presume SV is for Specialist Vehicles. Quite a difference in performance over standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what jets are in the carb. RR should be able to help with jet sizes. Unless you can get a german copy of the parts list?

Excellent! I feel Germany will be your best bet for hard copy manuals. The Bundy stuff is not held in as high esteem over here. & thus Info is harder to glean! German Armour is Scarce in private hands over there also. Due to the strict Laws on 'Deactivating' Armour plate itself. So they tend to collect Manuals etc as it is easier. The Tank Museum at Munster may well be of assistance for you? Prices for Ex Bundy vehicles when available. are much cheaper in the UK than Germany Itself.
