I like the golden rocker lid

No it's not Twin, I'm.on a serious go slow with my build. Want to make some proper head way this year!!

Are you aware of the impending possible IVA emissions change?

Oil filler cap is often cut off and relocated at the rear of the cover to make them fit under the bonnet on the Pinto engines

Twin in a nutshell I'm hoping to get finished next year, my 1600 pinto will have to pass the current emission standards? What's the prospect of that do you know?

I've seen a few comments saying if you are running fuel injection and put a catalytic converter in the exhaust you'll probably be able to get to the necessary emissions standard. No chance on carbs and without a cat though, which is what I want to do with mine...

If this is only a consultation paper, it will take time to implement and there will have to be a period of grace surely?

Bit of extra positive pressure behind the build now, hopefully push it on
