i picked these cooper s carbs and airbox up today for a bargain price, the carbs were incomplete but i only bought them for the airbox anyway.



the guy even gave me a spare twin carb inlet manifold as well



you can still see the remains of the old "coopers" air filter sticker



i gave the airbox a good rub down then applied primer and finally a top coat of gloss black enamel

go on ebay and see how much these air boxes sell for..........i've seen them on there for £150!!.....just for the airbox.

i bought them for the airbox to go on my own twin HS2's for the colder weather and take the K&N's off......why would i want twin HS4's on a 1098 anyway.......

Twin HS2's are great on a 1098 so long as you have a gas-flowed head and, maybe, a better cam.
You will need a float chamber by the look of things.

i'm not using the carbs cooperman, i bought them for the airbox to use during the colder weather in place of the K&N's

If I remember correctly you've already got twin HS2s, a 266 and a flowed head haven't you?

When I get twins I'll probably go for an original air box too - make it a little bit more civilised

the engine will run much better in the colder months with the standard airbox, and also to prevent any chance of carb icing which i encountered with the K&N's on the way to bingley last january

I did think it was something along those lines :)

Thanks

If you are wanting to sell the carbs I might be able to find a float chamber, but you'll need to get the fuel pipe from base of float chamber to the jet base.
PM me if I can help.

That's the airbox I need for our Mk3 S, the one with the cut out to fit around the plastic bulkhead washer bottle.

They are very hard to get hold of with the cut out. Nice find

they do crop up on ebay from time to time but they are ££££££.......there was a guy selling them at minifest uttoxeter, he wanted £140 for the airbox that you need with the cut out.

i finished the airbox this morning and fitted it to the car............i think it looks quite good!



notice that one of the rocker cover T-bars is missing, i wondered what that BANG was when travelling back from derby yesterday.....more rubbish parts from min-its, i'm getting fed up with taking stuff back to him now!
