    Default Carb Spring brackets

    Hello everyone, I am still looking for pictures for the carburetor spring bracket install. I have a series 6 and had to swap the manifolds and carbs, (side to side). IT looks like that might have changed with the series 7 and SS 7. So I'm looking for anyone with a series 4,5,or 6! Would anyone have pics for this? I would be extremely grateful!!!
    My manual Pics are almost black and basically no help. A picture is still worth a 1000 words!


    Thanks

    On my 6 I had to swap the manifold and carb from side to side to make room for the oil tank that sits in the center. Your kitfox is a 7 Correct?

    hansedj pics matched what I have!

    Thanks for helping though!

    that's the only ones I could find, I won't be able to get to the hangar until next weekend. I will take pictures if you don't have anything by then.

    I am confused. I don't remember the need for any brackets like this on my SS7.

    yeah for some reason it changed going into the 7 and ss-7, I'm thinking since they moved the oil tank to the outside on yours they left the manifolds and carbs alone.
