If you're using LPG only, do you actually need the petrol carb? How about something like a BLOS carb for gas?

some update on intake
 enough space for tools  after final test ... there's no place for carb to sit on top :( and thres no way to mod engine cover, because passenger seat are to close to cover :( so ended welding extension on side :/  i have leveled carb, its sits vertical in all directions run out on shielding gas :(  need to weld intake ends and add vacuum fittings, throttle cable holder, put all bits like radiator and other stuff back and call it done :D |

gearbox lowered (4 cm), sorry no photos, will try to make them tomorrow (family goes for vacation, so im left alone with LT, so only weather can ruin my plans now). Gears engage nicely now, befor that, there was major grinding on linkage to body, and it was very hard to put in gear
almost nothing left, need to put coolant expansion tank (got new, little bit smaller, hoping to attach it in original position, so it will be possible to monitor and maintain ir from engine cover "door"), fill coolant, attach lpg hoses, and put air filter. I hope i will test drive it by the friday (cross fingers)
