Hello, this is totally off-topic but here are the only car people that I know in the US so please read: I am looking for some serious, honest,...
Here is what I have done for the next project: made a blower manifold from an ordinary single manifold. Lots of welding but costs almost nothing....
I did balance my flywheels myself. Push a mandrel through the bearing, rest the assembly on knife edges or big discs that have small bearings...
Brake shoes seem to bed in now after a couple 100 miles, braking has improved since changing to vac at carb - thanks Squirrel! Maybe a booster...
If its cast iron (I bet it is) your weld will pull a lot of carbon from the iron and get very hard and brittle. You will have a hard time without...

Where are you located? I might come and bring my blown 1961 Triumph bike for some fun!
Some update: I put the boosters hose on the carb to see if there is more vacuum available. Slightly better but not much difference in town so I...
Source is at the manifold below the blower
