AI Weber Carburettor Conversion Kit for the
Sunbeam Rapier Fastback, Hillman Hunter, Humber Sceptre and Singer Vogue
(Rootes Group Arrow Range)
This is an adaptation of our conversion kit for the Sunbeam Alpine. The main difference is the inlet manifold as these cars have the same engine but canted at different angles on two axes compared with the Sunbeam Alpine. Additionally, the throttle linkage differs. Pictures show an Entry-level kit in a Fastback Rapier.
Not just a collection of off-the-shelf components, the Weber 32/36 Carburettor conversion kit for the Sunbeam Alpine was developed as a project in partnership with Webcon UK Ltd., carefully selecting and tuning each component. The AI inlet manifold with its curved runners, unique to Alpine Innovations, is mated to the genuine Weber 32/36 DGV carburettor with an insulated spacer gasket. The unique jetting of the carburettor was established after 3 days of testing on Webcon’s rolling-road with the resulting customisation optimised for performance, fuel economy and drive-ability. A plenum chamber, ducting hose and K&N filter enables cooler air to be drawn into the carburettor, rather than air preheated by the exhaust manifold and engine. Since these cars have the same engine mounted at a slightly different angles, the development is relevant to both conversions.
Note: This kit is not suitable for use on engines with a cast iron cylinder head.
