Another area of attention was the air filter mount.
The Tilly should have a Solex carburetor but we only have one which will go in the second Tilly. We have several SU carbys of which one has been rebuilt for this engine. The carby is mounted at 90 degrees to the inlet manifold and has an air tube that bolts to a solid steel mount and has the air filter mounted on top. The solex carby being smaller means to have a similar appearance using an SU carby required a facsimile air tube to be made slightly larger. Easiest way to explain is to show the end product compared with the original set up.
