Greetings! New owner from India

[Dave Mann]

I keep saying you can repair most things on a Seven and you can't break that mounting flange, yes that will do perfectly how much is it?
Mazak casting can be fragile if the casting is not 100% pure, if it is kept in damp conditions or if it is abused as this one has been. I've run the mazak 22 FZB carburetors on our 3 cars for the last 40 years without a failure.
I suppose you are right in thinking it was better for it to break now however from my experience of 6 months in Kolkata 40 years ago there are some seriously skilled artisans in India who can repair almost anything, I've no doubt they would have cast a replacement in bronze.
