Bogg Bros LTD
After the great response on beefing up my pinto engine a bit.
I have heard that a company called Bogg Bros can hook me up with a kit to fit straight on without to much work on my part.
Can anyone let me know if this is the case
Or any further info on what they do would be great
Cheers

Are you really Robin Hood or building one?
I have a Boggs manifold and bike carbs, fitted and ran fine, probably the prettiest bit of my car. I had great service from them, and very good at
setting stuff up on their rolling road apparently.

I am probably the last person to tell someone "what's what" but you may want to summarise what costs you are going to pay out for
the gains you intend to make and then when all the considerations have been taken into account, that's when you will be converted to bike
engine!s!!!

If you are within driving range of Edinburgh I believe there is a regular 7s gathering on second Thursday of the month at Flotterstone Inn, Ii might
be going to take a look this week, rain permiting ( no hood yet!)

Boggs will do as much or as little as you want and will quote accordingly. i found them to be extremely friendly and advice was always freely given. I
opted to get them to just make manifold and then rolling road tune once i got it all up and running. They will also take your car in and give you a
call once its all running and tuned if you prefer. Its all a question of money and time i guess. I had loads of time and not much money. If i had some
pocket money and wanted car ready to enjoy the best of the weather then id go for the drive in drive out option.
They have a good supply of carbs if you cant get any. I saved money by mixing and matching second hand bits but it took quite a while to get it all
together.
I recommend giving them a call.

I got my ZX9R carbs from bogg's,
http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/mcerd1/Dax/IMG_3948.jpg
I've very happy with them so far - but still haven't built the engine for them 
the biggest problem with bogg's seems to be they are really busy - I had to wait about 4 weeks for mine, and that was quick at the time 
hopefuly I'll drive the car down for run on there rollers - its a bit of a drive, but I like the yorkshire back roads
