D Series Fuel Inlet Fitting Fix Kit

Richo,
As the proud owner of a once burned ID, I am in the market for a kit please. From what I read, will also fit the GS carby, so would like 2 (two) extra fittings. 1 for each car and one for my new ID. (the one I want to build!)

Thanks for your interest, I appreciate your support.
I've sent an email with details.
 
Hi Richo. I would like one kit thanks. Should look, and be, better than the existing piece of wire!

cheers, Don
 
Hi Richo,

I got my package today, thanks very much. Very well packaged and looks to be first class quality, as we have come to expect from you.

Many thanks for an essential safety item (or in my case 3 of them). I think this or a similar thread should be a sticky to alert newcomers to older Citroen ownership of the dangers of the standard setup with the fuel line into the carby. Given this is a Solex and Weber issue, it must be endemic to many different makes of this era? I would not have known without AF, and both my cars are vulnerable (both with the amateurish galv wire "fix").

Regards,
leconte
 
Thank you Richard. Most impressed with the quality of workmanship. Very happy. Thank you.

Fred.
 
Ditto thanks Richo! Appreciate your effort, be good to drive without that niggling little explosive premonition loitering!
Regards
Steven
 
Got mine yesterday. Fast service to the USA. Looks great.

My DS should be arriving in a couple of weeks, so this will be first thing I take care of.

Thanks
Paul
 
Thanks fellas. Your feedback makes it all the more meaningful for me.

Only one kit wasn't taken and I've done all the machining for any future interest by owners whose cars haven't been changed.

cheers,

Hello again Richo. My kit arrived recently. Thanks for your expertise and prompt delivery.

Memo to me - I must fit it TODAY!

cheers, Don
 
The last and I mean final lot of taps arrived in todays post.
There are 8 full kits with tap ($40) available and 4 extra fitting and clamp kits ($15).
Fitting kits can be made at any time really, that's just machining. Happy to sell by themselves.

So, if there are any more owners out there who don't have these fitted, please consider the future of your car, without a fire under the bonnet. Thanks for your support.

cheers,
richo

I'll add my thanks too, even though we have spoken, I know it helps you cross requests off your list.

Cheers

Just a postscript to this thread, the last of the last batch of these carb fuel fittings have made their way to Roger Simson, owner of Citroen DS NZ

I understand at the time of writing there is still one full kit and 10 part kits available, if you haven't added this security measure to your D get in quick. Roger can be contacted via the above web address.

A big thanks to Richo for saving many Ds from an horrific end :headbang:

Cheers

I just received what I think was the last kit from Roger. It was brought on by noticing fuel leaking onto the inlet manifold when working on the hydraulics recently. Thank goodness the car was stationary and the engine not yet hot. I got a real fright. I replaced the hose and clamp as a temporary fix and will attend to the fitting very shortly. Belated thanks to Richo and the aussiefrogs community.
