Keven,

Well spotted. I used the QR to give me options on where to clip the spring to affect throttle pedal feel. The reason I have to put this on is that the RAC Scrutineers like to see throttle return springs acting directly on each throttle spindle in case the linkage breaks (in order that the throttles fail closed) Now there are helical springs inside the carb housings to do this but the scrutineers can't check these to see if they are damaged or broken etc, so you have to fit additional springs (overkill if you ask me - but I've never had a linkage break- then I might be glad of the extra springs)

I use the standard machanical fuel pump - never had a problem with it.

There is an in line fuel filter with a glass bowl (Malpassi style) mounted on the front of inner fender - difficult to photograph - roughly opposite the distributor.

I'd like to take a photo with the base of the air box off but it's a PITA to get off as the lower bolts are really tricky to get to.

When I get my 2000 GTV in the garage and pull the engine I can get any shots you want....

Dave
